REQUEST ABOUT CIRCLE COUNCIL DAKOR 27.03.2011
As the meeting has been restricted for Circle Office bearers & D/S and Presidents of divisions of Vadodara region only, there could be a confusion about grant of Special CL but it is clear that we will hold similar meetings for HQ region as well as Rajkot region and we can not expect special CL for Circle Office bearers three times in a month. Out of remaining two meetings, we will issue notice for CWC for one meeting and definitely Circle Office Bearers will get benefit of Special CL for that meeting. As meeting is to be attended on Sunday at Dakor, most of the office bearers of Vadodara and HQ region would very easily manage to attend without need of a leave. Kindly bear with it.
All representatives must come with details of pending issues of their divisions. Please also bring minutes of monthly meetings with divisional heads for last one year. A list for issues proposed to be taken at Regional/Circle level should be handed over along with brief details and relevant papers. All should ensure to have a mail ID and if not having, a new should be registered and be informed at the time of meeting.
