They are also human being, part of the society, have obligations, resoponsibilities, our great advisors, preachers, teach us good things, try to avoid doing sins but persuade to do merits. With the present pension money they too have economic problems due to inflation. They should be treated as well as looked after. May open the eyes of the authorities on the pensioners griviences.
