SALUTE TO INDIAN CAPTAIN SMIT MACHHAR

EASTERN NEWS ISSUE 156TH OCTOBER,2026

Honourable Members and Readers,

In about a few days' time, the monsoon of the year will be beating the retreat of disappearing from Bengal and the entire north India saying good bye leaving a hope of good crop later this year. The climate will be friendlier and the season of festivals will set its feet commencing with celebration of Gandhiji jayanti.

 The greatest festival of the land, particularly West Bengal and the Eastern India, the Durga puja, lasting for five days will commence on  17th October. 

We wish our honourable members and all readers of Eastern News happy Durga Puja.

Looking forward to happier days ahead, the October 2026 issue is being sent in attachment to this email.

Your valuable suggestions are invited for enrichment of the future issues.

With respectful regards

Uttam Bandyopadhyay

World Elders Day is celebrated on 1st of Oct every year.
This is the UN note on Ageing for 2007:
Older people - a new power for development.  Why a "new power"?

 A demographic revolution is underway throughout the world. Today, world-wide, there are around 600 million persons aged 60 years and over; this total will double by 2025 and will reach virtually two billion by 2050 - the vast majority of them in the developing world.

Today, about two thirds of all older people are living in the developing world; by 2025, it will be 75%. 
· In the developed world, the very old (age 80+) is the fastest growing population group. 
· Women outlive men in virtually all societies; consequently in very old age, the ratio of women/men is 2:1

Proposal fora joint meeting of Pensioners ' Assocociation in LIC

 ALL INDIA INSURANCE PENSIONERS ASSOCIATION 

29.09.2026.

To all Affiliated Units.

Dear Comrades,

Re: Proposal for a joint meeting of Pensioners’ Associations in LIC.

We have, yesterday, addressed a letter to the General Secretaries of All India Retired Insurance Employees’ Federation and Federation of Retired LIC Class I Officers’ Associations proposing a joint meeting. We reproduce here in below the aforesaid communication for information of the Units.

With greetings,

Comradely yours,

General Secretary.

28.09.2026.

Dear Comrade,

As we are all aware, several vital issues concerning LIC Pensioners remain pending in spite of bringing the same to the attention of the LIC management and Central Government, by the Pensioners’ organisations, both individually and collectively.

The first and foremost issue is periodical updation of pension commensurate to wage increase granted to in­service employees from time to time. We are entitled to this benefit legally and morally. Our employer, one of the rich financial institutions of the country, is capable of meeting the liability in this regard. We are, therefore, eligible for this benefit financially too. Despite these, We are made to approach the Apex Court for a legal remedy but the process itself remains unending.

Several other issues like, demands for 100% DA neutralisation for pre-August 1997 retirees, increase in basic pension by 20% when the pensioners reach age 80, as is in vogue in case of Central Government pensioners, Cash Medical Benefit for domiciliary treatment, preventive medical check up, improvement in Mediclaim Scheme, increase in ex-gratia to pre-1986 retirees etc. are crying for solution.
