Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh): Government employees organised a ‘Morcha’ (demonstration) across the state on Wednesday in favour of the restoration of the old pension scheme. The United Employees Front also submitted a memorandum to the SDM on the issue.
Government employees have been demanding the re-implementation of the old pension scheme for a long time since about two thousand employees in the district don’t fall under the pension scheme, this number goes up to 4 lakhs in the entire state.
The United Employees Front Organisation submitted a memorandum to the SDM.
District’s Morcha president Kailash Barod said that the old pension scheme has been implemented in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh from April 1 and so it should also be implemented in the state as pension is the only support for government employees after their retirement.
