The Pension Adalat for the year 2017 was held by the Salem Division of Southern Railway, today (15.12.2017) at the Multi Purpose Conference Hall in the Salem DRM Office. The Adalat was presided over by Sri Hari Shankar Verma, Divisional Railway Manager. About 62 claims were received from railway pensioners/beneficiaries during the Adalat. The members of the Standing Committee of Voluntary Agencies, (SCOVA) an organization recognized by the Govt. of India, were also invited to be present to assist the pensioners/beneficiaries., Sri S.Thirumurugan, Divisional Personnel Officer, and other Divisional Officers were present during the Adalat.
While addressing the participants, DRM Sri Hari Shankar Verma said that the Indian Railways in general and Salem Division in particular, always focus on the welfare of its staff both serving and retired and no efforts will be spared in ensuring their satisfaction.
Out of the total 62 representations that were received during the Adalat, 35 were disposed in favour of the applicants and an amount of Rs.48,05,333/- (Rupees forty eight lakhs, five thousands, three hundred and thirty three only) was released in favour of them. The balance representations could not be disposed during the adalat as they were either in contravention to the extant rules or for want of sufficient documents.
The pensioners/beneficiaries who attended the Adalat expressed their happiness and satisfaction over the steps taken by the Salem Railway Division authorities to listen to their grievances and settle them off.
