Diglipur, Jan 03: A group 30 Senior citizens along with Pramukh Shri. Gaurango Dutta and Zilla parishad members approached Asst. Commissioner Dr.Vivek Kumar regarding non-disbursement of senior citizen pension through A&N State Cooperative Bank Ltd, for the month of November and December.
When the AC called the ANSCCB manager, he said that as the money has to disburse within first week of every month the same cannot be done due to non release of fund on time. The bifurcation of fund will be done from 2 Jan, 2013 and the problem will be soon sorted out as ANSCB will disburse the amount at the home of the pensioner so proper address should be provided by the pensioner. “As soon as the money reaches the bank we are bound to pay but non release of fund on time delayed the disbursement,” he said.
Meanwhile some senior citizen complained about no preference of senior citizen in queue of shipping tickets, following which the Asst Commissioner instructed the official concerned to start a separate queue for the seniors and collect the forms as soon as the counter opens and issue the tickets by calling them.
