RECORD OF DISCUSSIONS

RECORD OF DISCUSSIONS

1.   The coming together of all the Associations of Pensioners, is in itself, a significant gain, and a step forward for the future of Pensioners. There was free and frank expression of opinions, which however varied. Attempts were made to minimize the differences.

2.   While SLPs were filed with diversified approaches, the demands are common. There was therefore general agreement that a joint approach would provide greater focus and thrust to the SLPs in the SC.
