    I think it is high time that a favorable decision in respect of increasing the pension on attaining the age of 65 70, and 75 should be given priority by the Govt. The benefit of pension for the surviving ones after 65 will not be a burden to the Govt. Show consideration to the elders.

    I don’t feel any likelyhood of approval of the proposal for enhancement of pension on attaining age of 65, 70 and 75 years during this govt’s tenure.

    Are we from UT Jammu included in the government order or we have to fight for it separately. Since even after Abolishing of the Art. 370 we are treated differently. We therefore need clearification on the issue.

    Had it been a case of parliamentarians, it would have been approved with in two hours of it’s submission to the concerned authority. Pray God to act the authorities to take similar prompt action in other cases of public grievances like those of parliamentarians.

    Recommendation for increase of pension ,when accepted,should notionally be considered from a retrospective effect and any monetary gains/arrears accruing there off ,should be utilised for building of old-age homes ,infirmaries and their keep-up.keeping in view the changing social order and improving life span in India ,measures to safeguard seniors are to be initiated extensively and promptly.
