An appeal to the govt.

We, on behalf of the retired Armed Forces employees, are humbly drawing the attention of the Honourable Prime Minister to an important issue. Our Honourable Finance Minister recently declared that the government officers and employees, who took retirement up to July 2008, would be included in the new pay scale, which came into force in July 2009. In accordance with the declaration of the finance minister, the government civilian officers and employees have been included in the new scale. But it is a matter of great regret that the retired Armed Forces employees were not included in the pay scale. Even we, who have gone into retirement in January 2010, have not been made the beneficiaries of these facilities.
We are hopeful that the prime minister and the finance minister will consider this humanitarian issue and take necessary steps to ensure justice to us.
