I am pleased to inform that 698 pensioners  have signed the petition so far.However this is not sufficient to get the success as bank pensioner numbers runs into lakhs. The timing of this petition now is that a new finance minister has taken over and our petition is going to be put to finance ministers table. If the signatures are more then it will show our unity and strength likely to result in success of the petition.So it is now or never for us. So I earnestly appeal to all bank pensioners to encash this opportunity and sign the petition in large numbers.with regards.M.Kamalaksha kini
