Speaking to Cell IT further, Sujay said that the association will not merge any other forums as it has practical, legal and logistic challenges. “We are planning to have around 70 members on board for a large representation in the state. We will be planning to include members who are not part of any associations. So, this cannot be called as a merger. Adding individual members turns to be an added advantage of the association”, Sujay said. He also said that the forum is in talks with insurance agencies to cover the lives of the members under any circumstances not just only for accidents but also during natural deaths.
