Pensioners’ association thanks Corporation Commissioner

The Salem Region Corporation and Municipality Pensioners Association has thanked Corporation Commissioner K. R. Selvaraj for streamlining the provision of pension to former corporation employees.

The members of the association were suffering for many years due to the delay on the part of the banks in providing pension to them.

Based on the suggestion of the association, Mr. Selvaraj directed the banks to issue the pension through the National Electronic Fund Transfer.

This has enabled the pensioners to draw the pension on the first of every month.

The initiative of the Corporation Commissioner has brought much relief to the former corporation employees, a resolution adopted at the general body meeting of the association held here recently said.

K. C. Venkatachalam, president of the association, presided over the meeting of the organisation.

The following were elected as the new office bearers at the meeting:

President: K. C. Venkatachalam; vice presidents: K. Palanisamy and K. Sithan; secretary: S. K. Padamasalam; joint secretary: S. D. Balasubramaniam and treasurer: M. Shanmugam.
