Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, has announced the distribution of outstanding pensions to 20,000 retired employees of Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) in an effort to give financial security and respect. These pensions, pending from September last year to January this year, have now been successfully transferred to their bank accounts.
The retired DTC employees had approached the government several times regarding the release of their pensions. Pensioners have been engaged in persistent protests for several months, demanding the timely disbursement of their long-overdue pensions. Chief Minister Kejriwal took personal responsibility for addressing this issue and ensured that the pensioners’ rightful entitlements were fulfilled.
Delhi Govt decision to release pension for retired DTC employees is a positive move toward securing their financial stability and overall welfare. As Delhi undergoes transformation, prioritizing the requirements of its retired workforce remains a top concern for the government.
