NURPUR, JANUARY 11
The HP State Pensioners' Association organised its annual function and honoured eight pensioners here on Saturday.
The association has been organising 'Samman Samaroh' for the past many years to honour those who crossed the age of eighty.
The function was presided over by the seniormost government pensioner, Prem Das Sahotra (94), who honoured the octogenarians and presented them a shawl, cap and a memento.
Earlier, bureaucrats were invited as the chief guest. Presiding over the function, Sahotra exhorted the pensioners to be united for the common cause of pensioners and extend the whole-hearted support to the association.
SL Gupta, association president, briefed them about the activities and efforts undertaken by the association in solving their problems. Gupta said it was organising its monthly meeting every month on second Saturday to redress the problems with the authorities.
The association also urged Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur to convene a meeting of pensioners forthwith.
