REVIVAL OF OUR MYSORE UNIT

A  Report of the “PENSIONERS’ MEET "  received from Shri  A.BALASUBRAMANYA. 

REVIVAL OF OUR MYSORE UNIT

A Meeting of all the Retirees of Mysore Division of LIC was convened by Sri A.N.Murthy at 10 AM on Sunday, the 13th June 2010, in the Conference Hall of Hotel Airlines, Chamarajapuram, Mysore.

This was in pursuance of the decision taken by the South-Central Zonal Council in its First Meeting held at Hyderabad on the 22nd June 2008, in the presence of Sri S.K.Shukla and Sri V.C.Jain, President and General Secretary of AIRIEF respectively. The Meeting was organised by Sri N.Narayana, Joint Secretary, AIRIEF, and Sri A.Balasubramanya, EC Member, with the active support of S/Sri A.N.Murthy, G.Krishnaswamy, SSLN Simha, G.Parthasarathy, S.Anantharam, B.G.Balaji & others.

Sri A.N.Murthy briefed the well-attended gathering about the circumstances in which the Retired LIC Employees Association, Mysore Division, was driven to become dormant and commended the initiative taken by the South-Central Zonal Council to activate the Unit.

Addressing the assembly Sri N.Narayana, Joint Secretary, AIRIEF, spoke about the role of AIRIEF in achieving benefits like Index-linked Pension, Ex-Gratia for the Pre-1986 Retirees, Cash Award in lieu of Gold Coin, Ex-Gratia for Spouses of  deceased Pre-1986 Retirees, 75% Subsidy in the Medi-Claim premium for the Retiree and Spouse, etc. He exhorted the Retirees of all classes to strengthen the hands of AIRIEF by bringing all Retirees into its fold, as also financially, to wrest the other long-pending benefits.

Sri A.Balasubramanya, EC Member, apprised the House about the issues involved in the Jaipur judgement and its implications, as also the status of the Writ Petitions before the other High Courts.

Sri N.Sundaramurthy, Joint Secretary, AILICEF, explained the present position in regard to the Wage Talks and the issues like Updation & Upgradation of Pension, Subsidy in Medi-Claim premium, Assistance in case of High Cost Treatment & LTC benefit to Pensioners taken up by AILICEF.

Sri HVLN Achar mooted the proposal to form an independent Association to provide a common platform for the Retirees of Mysore Division, and as a First Step to appoint an ad-hoc Committee to start with.
