      All Circle Secretaries /Divisional Secretaries & Branch Secretaries of All NFPE unions.
HELP NFPE TO SERVE YOU BETTER
A SPECIAL APPEAL
Dear Comrades,

            As you are aware, NFPE is consistently fighting for the cause of entire Postal, RMS and GDS employees and making all efforts for protection of their interests. There are so many achievements and gains of NFPE for the last many years. NFPE is the organization which is fighting continuously against the anti working class and anti people policies unleashed by the Government of India in the form of Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization along with the main stream of the working class. NFPE is also providing all upto date informations through Website, Postal Crusader and SMS.

            But we regret to inform you that inspite of our repeated requests, many Branch and Divisional unions are not remitting quota regularly to NFPE causing financial crisis. For better functioning sound financial position is a must.

            We, once again, appeal to all Circles/Divisional and Branch Secretaries of all NFPE unions to clear all quota dues and remit quota regularly to NFPE as per Membership.at the following address:

            Financial Secretary, NFPE,
            1st Floor, North Avenue Post Office Building, New Delhi-110001

        Further it is requested that maximum amount as Bonus Donation may also be remitted.

            Another thing which is worth mentioning is that many Branch/Divisional unions are not remitting subscription of Postal Crusader. A huge amount is being spent every month for printing Postal Crusader which  weakens the financial position of NFPE. Now as per decision of Federal Executive one copy of Postal Crusader will be sent by VPP to each branch for Rs. 120/- (Rs. One hundred twenty only)  (as annual subscription of Postal Crusader + V.P. Charges) from the next month once in a year.

            So please co-operate and help NFPE to serve you better,

            With fraternal greetings,                                             Yours Comradely,
  
                                        (M. Krishnan)
                                    Secretary General

2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Winners


2013 Nobel Prize in
  Physiology or Medicine Winners

The 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
jointly to

James E. Rothman, Randy W. Schekman
and Thomas C. Südhof

for their discoveries of machinery regulating vesicle traffic,
a major transport system in our cells.



--> The discovery of a complex transport system within the human body that makes cells deliver life-saving proteins and molecules at the right place and in the right time - vital for our survival, has been awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize for Medicine andPhysiology.

--> Americans James Rothman (Yale), and Randy Schekman ( University of California) and German-born Thomas Sudhof ( Stanford University) have been awarded the world's top medicine prize for discovering the molecular principles that govern how this cargo is delivered.

Summary
The 2013 Nobel Prize honours three scientists who have solved the mystery of how the cell organizes its transport system. Each cell is a factory that produces and exports molecules. For instance, insulin is manufactured and released into the blood and chemical signals called neurotransmitters are sent from one nerve cell to another. These molecules are transported around the cell in small packages called vesicles. The three Nobel Laureates have discovered the molecular principles that govern how this cargo is delivered to the right place at the right time in the cell.

Randy Schekman discovered a set of genes that were required for vesicle traffic. James Rothman  unravelled protein machinery that allows vesicles to fuse with their targets to permit transfer of cargo. Thomas Südhof revealed how signals instruct vesicles to release their cargo with precision.

Through their discoveries, Rothman, Schekman and Südhof have revealed the exquisi

tely precise control system for the transport and delivery of cellular cargo. Disturbances in this system have deleterious effects and contribute to conditions such as neurological diseases, diabetes, and immunological disorders.

Railways fare to go up by 2% from Today



NEW DELHI: Rail travel will become costly from Monday with the cash-strapped railways deciding to increase passenger fares in all mail and express trains by 2% and freight tariff by 1.7% across the board.

The passenger fare hike will be applicable from October 7 and revised freight charges will come into effect from October 10. This is the second increase in passenger fares this year after a 20% hike in January.

After the increase, the AC first class fare of Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani Express will go up by around Rs 80, Delhi-Kolkata fare in the same class will see a similar hike while Delhi-Chennai fare will go up by around Rs 100.

The "aam aadmi" has been spared as the increase will not be applicable on suburban trains and monthly pass holders of general classes.

The decision is expected to fuel inflation further as only last week, railways had imposed busy season charges of 15% on all freight commodities, leading to an increase in the prices of essential commodities.

This fare hike paves the way for railways to routinely revise passenger tariff taking into account the increase in input cost, mainly fuel cost.

Passenger fare was not revised as it was considered "unpopular" by leaders, leading to loss of Rs 25,000 crore a year on account of passenger tariff. "This is a big move in the direction of de-politicization of passenger tariff," an official said.

The revision has come in the form of fuel adjustment component (FAC) which was announced in the last rail budget to make adjustments for spiraling fuel prices. In the budget, it was announced that FAC would be revised every six months.

The state-run transporter has decided to pass the financial burden arising out of increased input cost — additional burden of 7.3% increase in diesel price and about 16% hike in electricity charges — on to customers.

According to estimates, railways will bear a burden of Rs 1,200 crore due to increased energy and input cost in the next six month. The revised passenger fares will get railways an extra revenue of Rs 420 crore in the remaining months of this fiscal and the transporter is expected to earn Rs 790 crore from increased freight tariff. FAC was implemented for the first time in April this year.
