Bathinda, November 14
The Punjab Government Pensioners Joint Front will be holding a state-level rally at Bathinda tomorrow pressing for their long-pending demands.
The rally will begin from the Pensioners’ Bhawan and culminate at the Suvidha Centre on the District Administrative Complex. Also, pensioners from Barnala today joined the Front on the fourth day of its members’ hunger strike.
The general secretary of the pensioners’ body, Gurdev Singh Kotfatta, stated that on March 3, 2009, the Punjab Cabinet had stated that the government was dedicated to implement the recommendations of the Pay Commissions. In the budget session of 2013-14, the Finance Minister had reiterated the government’s liability to implement the Pay Commission recommendations. However, the state government backtracked on its decisions.
There is unrest among the pensioners as the state government has not added 50 per cent dearness allowance to the pensions and did not implement 25 per cent hike in salaries, he said.
