In continuation of its periodical distribution of pension and essential items to inmates of old age homes, Thounaojam Chaoba Memorial Charitable Trust disbursed pension amount for the month of October to residents of Old Age Home, Langol on Sunday.
At the simple pension distribution function, Thounaojam Chaoba Memorial Charitable Trust managing trustee Thounaojam Romen said that the Trust has been distributing pension to those putting up in old age homes without getting any support from the government so that suffering of the elderly people, who are yet to avail government pension, could be reduced at least to some extent.
