PRTC Permanent Workers, Pensioners Protest Over Delay In Payments

Pensioners and permanent workers of Pepsu Road Transport Corporation (PRTC) staged a dharna on Tuesday (March 26) in order to mark their protest against the company management on delayed pensions and payment for the month of February.

People flayed the PRTC functionaries for their casual approach to salrary and pension payments.

The protestors also said that the management is not answering properly in this regard. They also said that they forwarded a ‘written note’ to the management, but, they haven’t replied thus far.

They said the PRTC management is accountable for arranging funds for pensions, payment of gratuities as well as PFs. We have not got pensions for the months of January and February.

“Pensions are our only hope and the single earning source for the retired people. By not releasing our funds, we are forced to survive under hugepressure. This should be blockaded by all means. Even the HC has ordered the sections concerned to make our pending payments by the 10th of each and every month at any cost,” they added,

They raised slogans against the PRTC authorities and threatened to strengthen their fight if the management failed to decide their matters.

They will continue stir till the time they receive their pensions and salaries.
