AVSST: Announcement to the community

Dear Auroville residents,

We would like to inform you that on 19 January 2024, 5 out of 6 Aurovilian members of the Auroville Safety & Security Team (AVSST) received an email from the BCC informing them that ..."BCC & FAMC are unable to support maintenance on your current positions. Your maintenance will be rearranged according to the attached policy document."... (Realignment of Work for Aurovilians). No grounds on which this decision was made by the BCC and GB FAMC were provided. One other Aurovilian AVSST member did not even receive any email from BCC, although from another communication thread from the BCC it was clear they would be affected in the same manner.

Due to this decision, AVSST has to unfortunately announce that it will no longer be able to serve the community on an emergency basis from 1st February 2024 onward and its 24/7 emergency number (9443090107) will not be available until further notice.
