Comments
these demands still remain without being considered by the Authorities concerned. Unless these issues are brought in the Parliament through a call attention motion, there is no imminent solution. The formation of the proposed National Council for Senior Citizens as per the G/Notification issued during Feb 2012 is still pending, which may please be expedited by BPS. Wish BPS all the best in its all endeavours.
