Kangpokpi, April 01 2017:
In connection with the current distribution of Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme (IGNOAPS) in Kangpokpi district, civil society organizations of Saikul Gamkai have appealed to the Social Welfare Officer, Saitu Gamphazol to distribute the pension amount of Saikul AC beneficiaries at Saikul hill town.
The CSOs, Saikul recalled that distribution of old age pension amount to beneficiaries under Saikul used to be held at Saikul hill town, until recently.
The distribution of the pension amount at Bal Bhawan, Khuman Lampak has been very inconvenient and uncomfortable for the aged beneficiaries, it stated.
The CSOs, Saikul also urged the Social Welfare Officer, Saitu Gamphazol to consider the grievances of the beneficiaries and review the place of distribution.
The CSOs Saikul added that the Vijaya Bank at Saikul hill town which was out of service for a while has resumed its banking service.
The CSOs would be willing to assist the department concerned in distributing the pension amount at Saikul hill town if the department needs the same, it stated.
