The sixth meeting of the Regional Committee of the EPFO office here held here recently reviewed the steps it had taken. Officials of the Puducherry Labour Department also participated in the deliberations.

Regional Provident Commissioner-I A. Mahendra Raju, who is the Secretary of the Committee, was among those who addressed the participants.
