Letters Pension after 75
The Union Finance Secretariat is reported to have asserted that it has no plans to stop pension to retired employees who have crossed the age of 75. The very idea of stopping pension after a certain age is not only distasteful but also cruel on the senior citizens. Perhaps economic factors are prompting the government and the policy-makers to find ways and means to reduce expenditure. The nation has been witnessing scam after scam. Government funds are often siphoned off by middlemen. Terrorism has further burdened the economy. These are the factors that need urgent attention to improve the economy and but countering them should not be at the cost of benefits to the people. K.V. Seetharamaiah Hassan
