AIPEU resents against halts to office construction

Itanagar: The Arunachal Pradesh unit of All India Postal Employees’ Union (AIPEU) has expressed strong resentment on the repeated disturbances caused to halt the construction of Head Post Office cum Director’s office building here. The long pending ‘dream’ project of the postal department has been stalled and unnecessarily delayed due to claims of some persons that they have got allotments within the boundary wall of the land allotted to the department, the union lamented in a communiqué today. “It is unbecoming of a civilised society to disturb like this and instead of verbal claims should come up with proper documents,” the AIPEU said. The postal staffers, be it the engineers and other staff are also being unnecessarily threatened for no fault of theirs, it rued. The building, if completed would facilitate better and improved services to the people of the state besides giving better facilities to postal staff. Further, calling for cooperation from all civil societies and right thinking individuals on the matter, the union threatened to take agitation recourse if the situation continues. (PTI)
