WORLD PENSIONERS DAY ON 01-10-2020- A RESOUNDING SUCCESS- CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE COMRADES.

it is heartening to note that our AIBDPA units joined the elders all over the globe in observing the World Pensioners Day and 75th Anniversary of WFTU on 01-10-2020. Braving the serious situation prevailing in the country due to the alarming spread of Covid 19 pandemic, our members participated in huge numbers to make the program a grand success. CHQ heartily congratulates all the comrades.

It was the call of TUI(P&R) to observe the Day befittingly and was duly endorsed by NCCPA,AIBDPA and AIPRPA. The important demands focused by TUI(P&R) were Decent Pension, Dignified life with proper healthcare, drinking water, transportation and entertaintment leisure to the elders. In many countries, particularly capitalist countries, the senior citizens are facing many attacks and challenges.

BSNL pensioners are denied Pension Revision due from 01-01-2017 by the government without any justification. Medical facilities are denied for the last two years by the BSNL management in an inhuman and discriminatory manner. No dobut, this may be one reason for the massive response to the programme.

In certain circles like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh , etc the programme was held jointly with other constituents of NCCPA. In Tamil Nadu where an effective Co-ordination Committee of Pensioners organisation including State government pensioners is functioning, the State government pensioners also participated in the programme.

In many places , as instructed by CHQ, our members also participated in the Lunch Hour Black Day Demonstration , called by AUAB to protest against the negative and anti-BSNL stand of central government in implementing the revival package, particulary intentional road blocks in statrting 4G services by BSNL.
