JAMMU, May 18: Pensioners and Senior Citizens Forum chief patron, Mir Ghulam Rasool has demanded facilities for the pensioners as well as old age and widow pensioners in Sumbal and other areas of Bandipora district who are illiterate and can’t withdraw their pension through ATMs.
In a statement issued here, today Mir has sought the immediate attention of district administration Bandipora towards this problem saying that the people in red zone areas of Bandipora can’t withdraw the pension form their respective bank branches and the authorities should take steps to solve this vexed issue as these old men need money especially for purchase of medicines for their survival.
Mir said he has already brought the issue in the notice of District Development Commissioner Bandipoa who till date has failed to settle the same.
