Kalmadi Reassures Senior Citizens
Section Tourism & Culture Posted on Sat Apr 17, 2004 at 04:55:42 AM EST
Expressing concern at the plight of senior citizens, Suresh Kalmadi said that he views their problems holistically.
"In the last four years several people have been forced to take participate in the Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) and this has added to the number of retirees. A large unorganised labour force also faces a similar problem. So I tend to view this whole problem in the larger context.
In the last several years I have tried to sort out the pension problems of retired persons. During my tenure as railway minister I made ticket concessions available to senior citizens. I also followed up on concessions for senior citizens on ST buses. Parks and gardens have also been developed all over Pune for senior citizens. Any schemes for senior citizens have to aim at helping them lead a retired life with dignity and I will do my best to ensure this."
