Sad News
Covid19 has taken away from us another leader. Com. R Ramachandra Rao (70), Retd SDOP Eluru, former All India Vice President and former District Secretary of our West Godavari SSA Unit expired on 29-5-2021 due to Covid 19. He lost his second son on 12th May 2021 due to Covid19. Again, his wife is also infected by the disease and she is in hospital now.

Com. Rao went to a private hospital on 29th morning and he was directed to the Government hospital. He got admitted there and breathed last after few hours.

Com. Rao was one of the very dedicated leaders of lour Association. He took extra initiate to enroll all members as life members and West Godavari branch became the first major branch in the entire country to have 100% life members. Now the branch has 1000 life members.

Very energetic Com. Ramachandra Rao has been taking up individual cases of family pensioners with dedication, organizing charity activities on the Pensioners Day every year and relentlessly trying to strengthen our organization in West Godavari SSA.

We convey our deepest condolences.

Dear Comrades,
It is time for us to act immediately against discrimination. Please repeat the attached message in all the groups. Call upon all participants to send emails to the Minister. Some comrades may not know how to do it. Others can help them.
We thought of organizing a postcard campaign to the Prime Minister. But in the present situation nobody can go out to purchase cards. Sitting at home we can send emails. Thousands of emails should go to the Minister. Honourable minister should feel the concern of pensioners. Please do it before 18th of this month.
Email ID of the Communication Minister is moc-office@gov.in
At the bottom, add your name and address.
P Gangadhara Rao, GS
