Pensioners demand release of DA

Jubilee employees of the State Government under the banner of State Government Pensioners Syndicate celebrated Pensioners’ Day at a function held at the Municipal Corporation Gandhi Park here on Thursday. The district president of the union, Karam Singh, presided. Sponsor Jaswinder Singh Manochahal was one of those who guided the participants on the occasion. The speakers recorded the Tribunal Supreme’s decision of December 17, 1984, which had ruled that the pension was a right of Jayanti.

The leaders condemned the state government for not releasing the financial district of the retired employees. The leaders also demanded the revival of the old pension system.
