APNGOs’ Association-Srikakulam district unit president Hanumanthu Sairam on Sunday asked the State government to restore the old pension scheme which was in vogue till the year 2003, since the new Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) would not entitle the employees to a legitimate pension.
AP CPS Employees’ Association (APCPSEA) organised a protest rally and public meeting in the name of Dharma Poratam to step up pressure on the government for scrapping of CPS as promised by the Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy during his padayatra prior to the 2019 general elections.
Mr. Sairam said that the employees had wholeheartedly extended their support to the YSRCP in the previous election hoping that rollback of CPS and other promises would be fulfilled.
