Grievances of Senior Citizens

Dear Mr. Prime Minister

· 63 years have passed and we still do not have social or health security

· 11 years have passed and NPOP has not been implemented by a single State

· 3 years have passed and MWPSC Act has become fully operational only in 3 States/UT’s

· More than 50% BPL Senior Citizens[65+] either do not get any Old Age Pension or are paid much less than the stipulated minimum

etc., etc.,

It is unfortunate that we have to resort to observing Protest Day on August 16 to bring our plight to your notice

Regards,

(Name & address)
