Retired Employees Protest for Pension Hike in Nashik
Retired employees in Nashik protested outside their Member of Parliament's office.
They want the government to increase their pensions.
Right now, they get about ₹1,170 per month, which isn't enough.
Many of them are very old and sick.
They say 200-250 pensioners die every day waiting for more money.
They thanked their MP for supporting them and hope he will help them get a better pension.
Retired employees under the EPS-95 scheme protested in Nashik for a pension hike.
They demanded the minimum pension be increased to ₹7,500 and linked to DA.
Around 8.1 million pensioners receive an average of ₹1,170 per month.
Protesters highlighted that 200-250 pensioners die daily awaiting pension increases.
The protest was peaceful and supported by MP Rajabhau Waje.
