Despite our continuous efforts the reply to the clarifications sought by the Department of Expenditure is not yet finalized and the file is still pending with the DOT Finance. This information is given by the Director (Esst),  DOT,Shri.Prachish Khanna  to Com.K.G.Jayaraj, General Secretary on today, the 17th April,2014.

The buerocracy, and the government as well ,it seems , are determined to prolong the issue unnecessarily until the new government is sworn in at the center. This is most deplorable and clear example of apathy of the government towards the pensioners issues.
