Respected Sir,

             This association is invited your kind attention that many postal staff have been attached with District Election Commission and have been assigned duties as Presiding Officers, Polling Officers, Micro Observers and even Counting Officers in many divisions. Dr S. Karuna Raju Hon’ble Chief Election Officer, Punjab has declared that if Presiding & Polling Officers do not attend their offices on next day of poll i.e. on 20.05.2019, may not be treated as absent.{ http://updatepunjab.com/polling-officer-holiday-on-20-may/} & News published in The Ajit Bureau dated 14.05.2019).

             So, this association is also requested to your goodself to issue instructions to all division heads to exempt from duties of officials engaged for election duties for day after election i.e. 20.05.2019 and may kindly be treated on duty as per instructions of ECI.

               Thanking you in anticipation sir!
