The All Goa Government and Semi Government Retired Employees Union has demanded that the government pay them their two years’ arrears.
They also want some compensation for the 2 years lost after government reduced their retirement age.
The members threatened that they will organize a long march from Pollem to Panji and Tiracol to Panji.
In 2004, the Bharatiya Janata Party had lowered the retirement age to 58 years. Thereafter the government reverted the retirement age to 60 years.
But due to the earlier decision 1086 employees lost their jobs. Even though, some were called back, but most were not.
