Shri Gurdeep Singh Deep, Chairman – Cheshire Home, Dr VJS Vohra of Rotary Club, Shri Harmesh Kumar – General Sectt. Physically Handicap Association, Punjab and Gurbir Singh Kochar – President Muscular Dystrophy Association took keen interest to make the event a success.
Physically handicap employees of Punjab Govt. are very disappointed with the callous and step motherly treatment towards Physically Handicap employees by the state Govt.
The Punjab Govt. is not honouring the order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court Dt: 25-09-2012. The order was passed by Punjab and Haryana High Court to raise the retirement age of Physically (Orthopedically) employees of Punjab Govt. from 58 to 60 years. Even after two months of the order, no action has been taken by the Punjab Govt.
Physically Disabled Employees urge the Punjab Govt. to honour decision of THE HIGH COURT and raise retirement age of its physically (Orthopedically) employees to 60 years without any further delay.
