GIST OF DISCUSSION HELD WITH CPMG DURING FAST PROGRAMME 29th Feb-2012:

                  At the beginning of the program there was resistance by the

      police not to allow the agitators in the premises. We have made it clear

      to them that the lapses on the part of the administration that the 16th

      Feb,2012 notice of the union was yet to be acknowledged and 22nd Feb,2012

      notice was answered in a negative sense which forced such agitation.

      comrades about 140 members. Red salute to all of them and those who were

      instrumental for the success.

      subject. On other issues it is decided to get response of the  administration in black and white.
