PESHAWAR
\nTehsil Municipal Administration (TMA) pensioners in Charsadda on Tuesday intensified their protest against the non-payment and delay of pensions, urging the government to take immediate notice of their grievances. The protesters carried placards and chanted slogans, demanding the timely release of their pensions. They stated that receiving pensions on time is their legal right and that continued delays are causing severe financial hardships for the retired employees.
\nThe pensioners warned that if their pensions are not released within one week, they will expand the scope of their protest and adopt a more aggressive course of action. The protest has also received support from the Municipal Workers Union as union representatives announced that if the pensioners\u2019 demands are not met, municipal services could be suspended and the protest movement further intensified.
\nSpeaking on the occasion, union leaders including Marjan Ali and Naveed Khan emphasized that the immediate payment of pensions is essential, as retired employees are facing serious financial difficulties due to the delays.
\nThe protesters called on the government to ensure the prompt disbursement of pensions and address employees\u2019 concerns on a priority basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
