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.
