[k.m & 18 vad 5 ekpz] 2017 yzv 18, nze L 5 wkou, 2017 Vol.-18, Issue : 5 March, 2017 Editorial... Developments in the Federation of SBI Pensioners' Association As you all know our three demands mentioned below, are still hanging on fire. Despite of best efforts of our Federation leaders under CBPRO, the Government/IBA has not heeded to our those demands for which talks were going on smoothly. It appears that due to some Court case, filed by some other Pensioners' Association of which the Court has given verdict against their writ. Our Federation had tried their level best for the followup ceaselessly and sincerly along with CBPRO, be it with IBA, Government, Administrative Forums or even through the repeated personal visits to different Hon'ble Ministers and Ministry officials. However, in view of the one reason or the other, including the latest demonetization exercise, our issues have failed to elict any attention despute the best efforts put in by CBPRO. Therefore, in consultation with all the constituants of the CBPRO, it is decided to finalize the following Demonstrative action program : 1. 15.02.2017 (Wednesday) - Deputation by Representatives of all the CBPRO Constituents to the Indian Bank's Association, Mumbai. 2. 15.03.2017 (Wednesday) - Massive Demonstration, Dharna and Hungar Strike at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi by all the CBPRO from 10.00 a.m. onwards. Comrades, the decision to go for the aforesaid Demonstrative action had to be taken, as all the following issues of the Pensioners and Retirees have gone unheeded and fallen pray to the so common policy of procrastination or the lip symthey, at all levels despite repeated knocks at every possible door by CBPRO. Our Demands 1. 100% D.A. Neutralisation to pre-retirees of 2002. 1 2. Revision in Family Pension in line with Government and RBI Pensioners. 3. Updation of Pension. 4. Medical Insurance Premium should be fully borne by the Banks as is done in the case of serving employees. P.S. While going to the printing press for publication of this issue, we have received message from the General Secretary of the Federation of SBI Pensioners that the talks of CBPRO conveners and other representatives has again taken place and we have been advised that the talks were fruitful and would further, the same would be held in the time to come. Although there is no such instructions have been received by us regarding change/ cancellation of our proposed Dharna on 15.03.2017 at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, we do hope that if the talks remain taking places, the Dharna may be called off. We are waiting for the detailed development of the above meeting/waiting for the circular of the Federation for clarification, if the Dharna is to take place, Comrades, be prepared to go to Delhi on 15.03.2017.
