100% DR neutralisation for pre-August 1997 retirees
There is a demand for 100% DR neutralisation for pre-August 1997 retirees as seen from the post of Mr Uttam Bandyopadhyay published in the blog .No doubt the demand is quite valid and justified.But at this juncture when after 1/8/1997 five wage revisions have taken place and the issue of upgradation of pension with every wage revision has become more important due to the huge disparities in pension not only between similarly placed retirees in the same cadre, but also between retirees in the higher cadres retired in earlier periods and retirees in the lower cadres several steps below in the later periods of retirement.

“Again and again…”
Translation
“Again and again…”
Written by Manju Warrier, Malayalam Cine Actress.
