Retirees have appealed to Governor Otti to implement the recommendations of a committee set up to review unpaid gratuities and pension arrears. They expressed frustration over delays in receiving their entitlements, which they say has caused financial hardship for many retired workers.

The retirees emphasized that the committee’s report contains practical solutions to ensure timely payment of pensions and gratuities. They urged the governor to take immediate action and release funds to settle outstanding payments.

They also highlighted that delayed payments affect retirees’ quality of life and their ability to meet daily needs. The group called on the government to prioritize honoring obligations to retired public servants as a matter of fairness and justice.

Civil society organizations have supported the retirees’ plea, stressing that transparent implementation of the committee’s recommendations will restore trust in the system. They urged swift action to ensure retirees receive their dues without further delay.
