Telangana Pensioners Protest Long-Pending Dues
Retired government workers in Telangana are protesting in Hyderabad today.
They haven't received their retirement money (pensions) for a long time, up to almost two years.
The workers' group says this has made many retirees very sad and stressed, and some have even passed away because of it.
They have tried talking to officials and protesting in different towns, but the government isn't doing anything to fix the problem.
The group wants the government to pay them right away and says it's embarrassing for the state to treat its retired workers this way.
They hope this big protest will make the government listen and pay them what they are owed.
Telangana State Government Pensioners’ Association (SGPAT) calls for a Maha Dharna in Hyderabad today.
Pensioners are protesting the government’s persistent negligence in clearing long-pending dues.
Some retirees who retired up to twenty months ago are still awaiting payments.
SGPAT claims prolonged delay has caused severe emotional distress and attributed reported deaths to financial hardship.
Association warns of escalating statewide movement if demands are not met.
