Pay pension arrears to Divyangjan, widow & senior citizen
Dear Editor,
Following matter of urgent public importance is submitted to attract the immediate attention of the higher authorities of the Jammu and Kashmir UT administration for early payment of pending arrears to the pension-holders of widows, elderly persons and Divyangjan ( PwD) categories.
This is the voice of the voiceless like helpless widows, elderly persons as also Persons with Disability who are already getting pension through the Social Welfare Department in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir but deprived of due arrears so far.
This long outstanding payment is only very meagre but this is of much significance to these desolate and weaker sections of the society. The Lt Governor Manoj Sinha; Chief Secretary, Atal Dulloo, Principal Secretary, Social Welfare Sheetal Nanda and Principal Secretary, Finance, Santosh D Vaidya and all other high authorities must pay their immediate attention and tackle this issue at the earliest to dispense justice to these hard-pressed and disadvantaged sections of our society.
It is felt that the J&K UT Administration will ensure payment of due pension arrears through on-line mode into their respective Bank account as early as possible.
