The district unit of the Punjab State Pensioners and Senior Citizens Association has criticised the state government for it indifferent attitude towards their current demands. The members, most of who were from different parts of the district, participated in the meeting organised at Gandhi Municipal Park here. District president of the association, Baldev Singh Kallha, in his address, stressed on payment in one installment of the arrears of Sixth Pay Commission recommendations and DA installments. He also called for the revival of the Old Pension Scheme. Gurdev Singh Sandhu and Satpal Sharma were among those who addressed the gathering. The leaders laid stress on increasing the monthly medical allowance to Rs 3,000 per month. The leaders warned the state government of launching a stir if their demands are not met.
