Pension not received since two months, old people are returning daily after sitting for hours in Collectorate Ganeshi, resident of Surajpol and Basmati, resident of Jagmohan Pura, who reached the District Collectorate, said that they have not received the pension for September and October. When we came a few days ago, we were told that it would be started after verification. Have come again today. No one is answering. There is pain in the legs after standing in line for a long time. That’s why we sat down. We survive only on this pension. Now I don’t know when it will start.
