Pay pension to retired TNCSC employees, union tells government

THANJAVUR, JULY 05, 2019 00:00 IST

Warns of agitation to achieve demand

The Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation Employees Union, affiliated to AITUC, has urged the State government to sanction pension to retired TNCSC employees.

In a statement issued here on Thursday, TNCSC State general secretary, C. Chandrakumar condemned Food Minister R. Kamaraj for giving an “evasive” reply to a question raised in this regard by DMK MLA Senguttuvan on the floor of the State Assembly.

He pointed out that employees of Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board were being provided with pension benefits on par with government employees. Also minimum pension amount was being extended to retired employees of Aavin and Central Cooperative Banks.

Hence, Chandrakumar said, it would be unfair on the part of the State government to deny pension benefits to employees who implemented various people-oriented welfare schemes and measures announced by it.

He urged the State government to consider sanction of pension to TNCSC employees positively.

Otherwise, a situation would arise wherein protests and other form of agitations would be held to achieve the demand of the employees, Mr. Chandrakumar said.
