The Banks, especially PSU Banks, including SBI, has NPA or bad loans coming to lakhs of crores of rupees. The corporates and Mallyas who had taken loan of hundreds and  thousands of crores are mostly willfully defaulting repayment with the confidence that they will never be booked due to money power and influence among the rulers.

Now, due to adverse reports in media and strong protests from people, government is compelled to take some action unwillingly. This has rattled the powerful India Inc, the corporates and big business. They cry foul and act as victims. Stop this drama,  India Inc, and repay the loans you have taken from banks. Your strategy and cheating of the nation has been fully exposed.

The 22 days strike by Railway and Central Govt. employees which started on 8th May 1974 was one of the biggest and strongest strikes India has ever seen. Lakhs and lakhs of workers participated in the strike, the main demand of which was Bonus.
The Congress government met the strike with all ammunition at its disposal. Strike was banned and ESMO issued. Paramilitary forces were used to suppress the striking workers. Thousands were arrested, jailed, terminated, dismissed and suspended. Families were vacated from staff quarters. Recognition of Federations/ Unions were cancelled. The strike was withdrawn after 22 days.
I still remember the brutal police actions against the strikers and their families, especially in Railways.

The strike was not in vain. For the first time, bonus was granted to Railways and CG employees in 1979 after Janata Government came to power.

On this ‘Mother’s Day’, let us remember the great contribution of Mother in bringing up new generation.Let us never forget the love and affection bestowed by mother.Take care of her in her distress and old age.

It is good news! Air India which was in loss for the last few years has posted operational profit of Rs.8 crore in 2015-16. It had a loss of Rs.2,686 crore in 2014-15.
While the management and employees are mainly responsible for this turnover, the 12% growth in the sector also helped. The daily occupied seats in flights increased from 66,758 to 74,499 during the year.
