Retired Employees Stage Sit-in at Municipal Office Demanding Pension
Retired municipal employees in Salem staged a sit-in protesting the delay in pension disbursements.
Retired employees from the Salem Municipal Corporation's engineering department staged a sit-in protest near the municipal office, alleging that their pensions have not yet been disbursed.
The protesters claimed that the administration has been delaying sending the list of eligible employees to the government, causing significant hardship. They noted that even the families of deceased employees are not receiving their pensions.
Following discussions with the police, who assured them that the matter would be brought to the Commissioner's attention, the employees dispersed.
