Board meeting of GCMMF conducted peacefully
Anand, Gujarat, Feb 1 (UNI) The Board meeting of Gujarat's Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which was expected to be stormy against a backdrop of sacking of Mehsana Dairy chairman Vipul Chaudhary last week, was conducted peacefully by its Chairman Parthi Bhatol here today.
Later, talking to mediapersons here, Mr Bhatol said ''The meeting, which began at 1130 hrs and lasted about an hour, was conducted peacefully and cordially in a very conducive atmosphere as per its agenda.'' However, Mr Bhatol was quick to add that the Board did not discuss the suspension of Mr Chaudhary from the chairmanship of Mehsana Dairy as it was the decision of Gujarat government.
Mr Chaudhary was sacked by Gujarat Co-operative Registrar G C Murmu on January 26 on the grounds that he was involved in an illegal recruitment drive.
When asked, Mr Bhatol said the Board would consider the demand of wage hike of 18-20 per cent sought by the employees of the Federation.
