The proposed Indefinite Strike of Postal Employees w.e.f. 17th January 2012 stands deferred after discussion between Secretary Posts and the Union representatives and settlement on major issues. The proposal of the Department to close many RMS offices and Post Offices will not be implemented as per the agreement. The present Post  Offices and RMS offices will continue functioning as earlier.

My hearty congratulations to the NFPE and other unions which had been in full preparations for the strike and have now got settled the main issues.
