JAMMU, July 16: An emergency meeting of the Retired Officers Forum, Jammu, was convened, here today under the chairmanship of I.D. Soni, president of the Forum, to deliberate on some burning issues of the pensioners.
The meet urged Governor N N Vohra to re-examine the issue of submission of formulation-II of the pensions as majority of the Family pensioners (both male/female) were unable to pass through this lengthy process of visiting their heads of the offices for attestation and submission to the treasuries for onward submission to the AG office.
Moreover, the Forum added, some of the incumbents have retired from other province and are settled now either in the state somewhere in the villages or else outside State so under these circumstances it is difficult for them to undergo this process.
The Forum also drew attention towards disparity in payment of arrears to Government employees and pensioners and urged the Governor to remove this disparity besides enhancing Medical Allowance of the pensioners.
The Forum also demanded Group Insurance Medical Policy for the pensioners, which is available for the Government employees/Legislators etc.
