Woes of pensioners
We were pleased to note the pay hike for government servants. Looking at price hike of daily essential commodities, one has the feeling that the government had to do something in this respect. The raise has been expressed in details; including that of private offices. Private offices follow the same orders, so far I know. But what about retired officials like me?
Price hike is affecting all classes of people. The state of the poor is beyond description! I would request the government to increase our pension by at least 80%. Otherwise, how can we survive?
