Sir,
Sub: Request for declaring public holiday for Post Offices on 08.08.2018 [-reg.

We share the grief of the whole Tamilnadu in the demise of the leader and former Chief Minister Kalaingar Karunanidhi.

As expected, tomorrow has been announced as public holiday for State Government offices. There will be a total shut down with no public transport plying. Further, the entire police will be diverted to State capital to handle the security arrangement. Against this situation, we request our circle administration to take stock of the situation and to provide necessary security to post offices.

We also further request to cause declaring holiday for our establishment for tomorrow keeping in view of the State Government response to the situation.

Our staff will be stranded or can not safely reach the work place in the absence of transport and have to face other risk fraught in law and order.

Infact staff are presently facing much difficulties to reach home due to the total suspension of transport.

Kindly do the needful early.

Thanking you,

N.J.Uthayakumaran
Circle Secretary
Tamilnadu
