Sir,

It is a matter of pleasure that the vaccination programme against Covid-19 has been launched by the Government of India. In first phase it is to be provided to the front line workers.

Our Department of Post was also declared essential service and our Postal Employees have rendered their services in various ways including delivery of medicines and other item related to treatment during Covid-19 crisis and lockdown period. Our Postal Staff including GDS have provided services of remitting money on the door step of public through A.E.P.S During service in pandemic crisis period so many of our officials got infected with Corona virus and so many have lost their lives.

Still there is threat to the Postal Employees while rendering various services.

It is therefore requested to kindly cause necessary efforts at your level to convince Govt. of India, Health Ministry to provide Corona Vaccine to Postal Employees on priority basis treating them as front line workers.

Extension of orders for officials above 50 years of age and pregnant women were allowed to avail commuted leave without Medical Certificate due to Covid -19 pandemic

With regards,

Yours sincerely,
(R. N. Parashar)
Secretary General
