Editor,
Retired employees who have worked for government organisations like the civic department, railways, transport department, electricity department, police departments, PWD, post offices, PF office draw a monthly pension of Rs 60,000 to Rs 75,000 a month, while retired employees of private organisations who have worked for over 35 to 40 years get a modest monthly pension of Rs 800 to Rs 1,000 a month. Why this step-motherly treatment? Contrary to the assertions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, most Indians are not seeing better days. In fact, our days are going from bad to worse. And it will worsen if prices of essential commodities keep rising by the day.
