Civic staff kin harassed over pension
A woman named Veena is moving from pillar to post to get her husband's pension, which he was not able to get himself. Her husband, a sweeper, retired from the municipal corporation in June 2021. After he died, Veena started trying to get his pension from the civic body, but she allegedly had to "bribe" the clerk in order to get the process started. The commissioner of the municipal corporation assured Veena and her brother that a report has been sought and action will be taken if found guilty.
