COMMENTS
Is there any progress on the recommendation of the parliamentary standing committee regarding increase of medical allowance from RS.1000 to 3000 ?
I’ve retired in 2014 from Govt job.Pension is too little to feed many mouths Goa is a state where everything is brought from other States n life is expensive,besides everything has increased except pension.Have to pay so many places as by midweek money is over. Being Senior citizen we’ve to spend on Drs, medicines etc, n I avoid going to Drs or buy medicines. No DA has been given till date. Mr Modi promises to give extra DA before Holi, N Holi is gone n just yest meagre pension is given.So i feel depressed n better to commit suicide,then continue living n the Govt will be responsible for this action.I can’t continue, my daughter has to get married,she lost her job due to Covit My spinstersister is epileptic no property in laws filed in inventory case in court have to spend on lawyers more than 10 yrs now. How do you expect me to live plz ? Plz pay our DA n increase pension n cancel income tax.Dont blame for action taken by me as m very depressed n don’t know how to continue. God help us.
