Clear pending medical bills: Pensioners

Ludhiana, September 21

In a monthly meeting, members of the Punjab Health Department Pensioners Welfare Association discussed problems being faced by them at the Ludhiana Civil Surgeon Office here.

President of the association Satish Sachdeva raised the issue of pending medical bills of the pensioners. He said the medical bills of a number of pensioners were lying pending with the Civil Surgeon Office for a long time due to which they are forced to suffer a lot. “We have raised the matter many times but our voice is being ignored. In the meeting, we criticised the irresponsible behaviour of the Civil Surgeon Office with the pensioners”, he said.

Sachdeva demanded from the Civil Surgeon, Ludhiana, and the government to direct the officials concerned to clear the medical bills of the pensioners at the earliest so that they could get reimbursement.

He also demanded that other issues related to the pensioners should also be resolved without any delay. — TNS
