Pensioners stage demonstration demanding additional 10% pension for those who crossed 70 years
Demanding additional 10% pension for the pensioners who had crossed 70 years, members of Tamil Nadu All Government Department Pensioners’ Association staged a demonstration here on Tuesday.
The protesting pensioners said the DMK, in its manifesto for Assembly election 2021, had promised to give 10% additional pension to those who have crossed 70 years of age. Even though the DMK came to power in 2021 with the overwhelming support of the pensioners, this promise remains abandoned. Hence, the DMK president and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin should fulfil this promise, they said.
They also demanded ₹7,850 should be given as pension to anganwadi and nutritious meal scheme workers, panchayat secretaries etc.
