Nagpur: The employees of Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) Nagpur once again reposed their faith in the 'Apna Panel' in the elections to the Employees' Credit Cooperative Society, the results of which were declared on Thursday.
Eight members from the panel emerged victorious in the elections held on June 11, signalling a strong comeback after the last polls held one and a half years ago.
The credit cooperative society conducted elections for 11 board of director seats. A total of 1,551 members cast their votes.
Among the winning candidates from the Apna Panel are Shailesh Ramteke, Mrigendra Tele, Shahjad Baba Khan, Amol Fate, Atul Sikkalwar, Ishwar Rathod, Sandeep Murkut and Archana Masram.
The newly-elected board will soon convene to appoint office-bearers.
This election witnessed participation from four major panels – Apna, Swabhimani, Karmachari Ekta, and Sankalp. In the previous election, held nearly 18 months ago, the Apna Panel secured four seats, while the Parivartan Panel won six, and one candidate won as an independent. That outcome marked a shift in the society's leadership after 18 years. However, due to internal conflicts within the Parivartan Panel, the society was placed under an administrator's charge, prompting fresh elections.
Shailesh Ramteke said, "The mandate reflects the confidence of employees in our panel. We are committed to transparent and employee-friendly functioning."

Air India pays compensation to two-thirds of Ahmedabad crash victims
Air India on Friday said it has paid the compensation to families of nearly two-thirds of the victims who died in the June 12 plane crash in Ahmedabad. Soon after the crash, Air India parent Tata Sons announced that it will provide ₹ 1 crore each to the families of each person who died in the crash.(File/REUTERS ) An Air India Dreamliner from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick crashed moments after takeoff on June 12, killing 260 people onboard and on the ground. "Our teams have been helping families receive interim compensation. Every affected family is being directly assisted by an Air India representative, with nearly two-thirds having already received payment or are in the final stages," Air India Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Campbell Wilson told the airline employees in an internal post. Tata Sons is in the process of establishing the apparatus to provide longer-term assistance to the families and survivors, the Tata Group-owned airline said. In an internal post to airline employees, Air India Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Campbell Wilson also said the carrier will continue to "invest in upgrading aircraft, products, service, systems, capabilities and, most of all, people". The crash, one of the worst air disasters in India in decades, involved a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner operating as Air India flight AI171. Of the 242 people onboard, 241 were killed, while the total death toll stood at 260, including casualties on the ground. Soon after the crash, Air India parent Tata Sons announced that it will provide ₹1 crore each to the families of each person who died in the crash. And on June 14, Air India announced that it will provide an interim compensation of ₹25 lakh, or approximately GBP 21,500, to the families of each of the deceased and survivors of the Ahmedabad plane crash to help address immediate financial needs. Air India's on-ground presence in Ahmedabad to see this process to completion, he said, will continue for as long as required." The Air India Chief also said "the process of reuniting next of kin with their loved ones, and repatriating them to their final destinations, is now complete". "As we transition from the immediate aftermath to mapping the journey ahead, many efforts are underway. Among them, Tata Sons is in the process of establishing the apparatus to provide longer-term assistance to the families and survivors, and will share more when the time is right," Wilson noted. Air India continues to observe its "Safety Pause", the deliberate temporary scale-back of its international and domestic networks, he said, acknowledging that, besides the customer impact, this temporary curtailment of flights put extra pressure on Air India frontliners in call centres and at airports, and has "disrupted crew rosters". "The 'pause' was an important and necessary move to accommodate voluntary additional aircraft checks, navigate the volatile international airspace environment and to stabilise our flight schedule to restore faith and trust," Wilson said. Besides providing extra resilience, the extra aircraft ground time is allowing the airline to accelerate its aircraft reliability enhancement programs, he said. Air India on June 18 had announced a 15 per cent reduction in international flights operated with widebody planes till mid-July as amid operational disruptions due to enhanced safety inspections and geopolitical situation, among others. "Irrespective of any cause, the accident of AI171 and the loss of so many lives will forever stand as one of our darkest days. It must also signal the start of a new era," Air India chief said in the internal post, adding, "we will continue to invest in upgrading aircraft, products, service, systems, capabilities and, most of all, people".
