Soon after return from Bengaluru, I was pained to learn through LICPC 
that Shri Raj Kumar Singla of 1994 batch of retirees and Shri M.L. 
Delori (of AIIPA) expired.

I pray that the almighty give their souls eternal peace.

The heartless system of management and bureaucracy are no respectors of individual lives. Perhaps these management experts and those who are the cogs and wheels of government machinery feel that they go on living eternally and it is only the less fortunate who have to die.

In their death Shri Delori and Shri Singla placed on the shoulders of those pensioners and leaders of pensioners who are fortunately with us, the burden and responsibility of bringing the issues of DR relief and Updation of Pension to an early conclusion, without resorting to hair splitting arguments. Some say first let us take Teertham (in temple) and then wait patiently for Prasadam. Others say both must be given simultaneously. Some others say whichever is served first one has to accept. By the time the procedure is settled God himself will take care of some more amongst our fraternity. May almighty bestow on all those who matter the vision to realise the urgency of the issues. All said and done our population cannot increase nor remain stationary, with the coming into force of a new pension scheme from 2010.
