CHARTER
OF DEMANDS
1.
(a) Drop the Mail Network Optimisation Project
(MNOP) and reject the Mckinsey Consultancy’s disastrous recommendations. Inspite

including Branch Post offices. Even though it was assured by the Secretary

no closure/merger of Post offices, except simultaneous relocation, instructions
in this regard are yet to be communicated to the Circle/Regional heads. Even now some Regional heads are closing Post
offices indiscriminately.
