What you call it Pension or Tension..??

Another post which shows the weak point of Government. A long queue of people in front of bank, waiting for their turn. These people knows very well that opening timings of bank is 9:00 pm but they making queue outside the bank from early in the morning to get the pension first. Hot whether makes their faces more weak. Tiring and tensed faces again and again check their watches, when clock ticks 9 and they enter in the bank. In this long queue, some people are retired employees, some women takes money on behalf of their husbands, their ages is from 60 or above. There is something which is objectionable, don’t you feel it??but i felt. Wrinkled faces people who standing alone, they are some one's father or mother, some ones sister or brother but at this moment only 10 or less people are waiting along with their relative and rest of them are standing alone. This shows that they have no relatives and family .they crossed the age of 60, they suffered from different diseases. If they died here, who will help them? Government? Never

                   In 2011, a man, seventy-year-old Mahmood Khan died in queue. Khan had retired eleven years ago as a driver for Pakistan Railways. Desperate to get his long overdue pension of Rs4, 000, the elderly Railways pensioner wanted to be one of the first to get to the bank in the morning. He stood in queue all night outside National Bank of Pakistan’s Mughalpura Railways Workshop branch.

                        Above example is enough to highlight the weakness of Government. If Government is blamed for this type of issues then it is not wrong. Now-a-days prices are high and value of money is decreasing.4000 rupees hardly help these employees and others for 1 week than where did they fulfill their expenses.

                          Government should introduce a new policy which includes the increment of pensions and sending pensions to the employees’ home. Government favorable actions could save the life of other people like mahmood khan.
