EOBI pensioners

Author: Daily Times

Sir: The step motherly treatment being meted out to EOBI pensioners is despicable, to say the least. Can Rs 5250 be a guarantee for a month-need of a retired industrial worker especially in the present circumstances?

Their pension deserves to be raised and brought at par with other pensioners. The worthy finance minister needs to pay special attention towards this aspect as it long overdue.
