Ukhrul, January 28 2020:
The Ukhrul District Civil Pensioners' Welfare Association ( UDCPWA) Kamjong has expressed disappointment over the Treasury office, Ukhrul for failing to transfer their monthly salary at the concerned banks on time, saying it has led to delay in releasing one month pension of Ukhrul and Kamjong pensioners.
According to the reports of Ukhrul pensioners, salary for December 2019 is yet to be released and is pending at Treasury office of Ukhrul for linking with the bank for disbursement.
Secretary of UDCPWA, David Nakhedei expressed strong resentment against the office for making a mere excuse that the delay was due to technical error.
Mentioning that Ukhrul Treasury office has frequent computer-related problems, which affect the pensioners, David continued that pensioner families solely depend and relied on pension as they have no other incomes.
Ukhrul District Pensioner Welfare Association also urged the higher authority to look into the grievances of the pensioners and replace the defective office equipment with a new one to ensure uninterrupted services at the earliest.
