The employees and the officers also held a joint meeting which was addressed by divisional president of Northern Zone Insurance Employees Association, Shimla division, A.C. Chauhan and general secretary Federation of LIC Class I Officers Association and member National Executive A.R. Sharma.

The speakers firmly opposed the decision of the Central Government to privatise the insurance industry. They emphasised the need to allow the industry to remain in public sector undisturbed so that it continued to serve their community and the national economy in fulfilling its enormous potential.

The protest rally resolved to harness the creativeness of the employees and officers towards strengthening the public sector insurance industry in order that it might attain greater heights in achievements.

The employees and the officers have also decided to launch a joint struggle to resist the ill-devised steps of the Central Government.
