The 9th of July 2025 shall remain etched in the hearts of every conscious employee and worker who stood united, rose with conviction, and voiced their collective dissent against anti-worker policies through the historic nationwide general strike. In Odisha, this strike was not just a protest—it was a declaration of unity, resistance, and hope. The Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers, Odisha State CoC, bows its head in deep gratitude to each comrade, young and old, who contributed to the grand success of this one-day strike. Without your spirit, leadership, and dedication, such a resounding strike would have remained a distant dream.
To the Leadership and Members of ITEF Odisha Circle, ITGOA, and ITPA
Our heartfelt thanks and revolutionary greetings to Com. Chittaranjan Pattnaik, General Secretary, ITEF Odisha Circle, whose impeccable leadership and organizational capability made the strike meeting at Aayakar Bhawan, Bhubaneswar, a vibrant expression of resistance. The presence and active participation of ITGOA under full unconditional support and the dignified involvement of the Income Tax Pensioners' Association added immense value to the programme. The spirited turnout of young comrades under NPS and their attentive participation in the address by Com. B Samal, General Secretary, and Com. Dipti Ranjan Mohanty, Financial Secretary, was a special hallmark of this gathering.
The Confederation Odisha State CoC deeply appreciates the Presidents, General Secretaries, Office Bearers, and the staff of ITEF, ITGOA, and ITPA, Odisha, for making this event both powerful and purposeful.
To the Courageous Fighters of GSIEA, Odisha State Unit
The strike programme organized by the GSIEA, under the dedicated leadership of Com. Iswar Chandra Sahoo, along with the active involvement of Com. Somanath Nayak, Com. Ajaya Moharana, Com. Kabita Panda, and many others, stood as a glowing example of unity in action. We are equally grateful for the strong presence of young employees under NPS who listened with serious concern as Com. B Samal explained the threats posed by the new Labour Codes, NPS, UPS, and the draconian provisions of the Finance Act 2025. Com. Dipti Ranjan Mohanty, along with Confederation members Com. Lingaraj Sahoo and Com. Padmalochan Nayak, graced the event with their solidarity and commitment.
The Confederation Odisha State CoC salutes Com. Iswar Chandra Sahoo and his vibrant team for their steadfast contribution to the success of this historic action.
To the Inspiring Team of PIV NFPE, Bhubaneswar Division
Despite being deprived of coordinated support from other wings of NFPE, the PIV NFPE Bhubaneswar Division under the fearless leadership of Com. Ajay Kumar Barik, Divisional Secretary, displayed exceptional resilience and capability. Gathering hundreds of postal comrades for the strike meeting in front of the office of the Chief Postmaster General, Odisha Circle, was no small feat. Com. B Samal, Com. Dipti Ranjan Mohanty, and Com. Rabindranath Dhal, State President, addressed the gathering with passion and clarity. The presence of Com. J K Mishra from the Institute of Physics, and comrades like Com. Sudhir Kumar Swain, Com. Srikant Mallick, and Com. Bishnu Prasad Das further strengthened the morale of the striking employees.
The Confederation extends its sincere thanks to Com. Barik and each member of his dedicated team for organizing such a forceful and impactful event.
To the Torchbearers Across Odisha—Cuttack, Berhampur, Sambalpur and Beyond
While the General Secretary was physically present in specific locations, the spirit of strike reverberated throughout the length and breadth of Odisha. In Cuttack, under the guidance of Com. R N Dhal, our State President, the strike was conducted with dignity and intensity. We also acknowledge the vital role played by Com. MCS Rao, All India President of PIV NFPE CHQ, for mobilizing a strong base in Berhampur. The success of the strike in Sambalpur, particularly in Rourkela, under the leadership of PIV NFPE comrades, proved that Odisha’s working class stood shoulder to shoulder on this critical day. Last but not the least, the wholehearted support of the All India Postal and RMS Pensioners’ Association, Odisha Circle, lent moral strength to the strike everywhere.
We extend our deepest gratitude to every individual, every team, and every organization whose hands joined in solidarity to script this day of workers’ unity. Your contribution is not just acknowledged—it is revered. Together we proved that resistance, when united, is unstoppable. Thank you, comrades. Let this be just the beginning of greater struggles and greater victories.
In unity, with gratitude,
