The number of supporters has reached to 5275 as of now. But to make a impression on the finance ministry the number should reach atleast 100000.(one lakh)thsy 20 percent of total number of bank pensioners. Now only 10 days are left for the bipartite talks fixed for 15th of this month. So if the bank pensioners want to achive updation of pension atleast 50000snd above have to support to make an impact/impression on finance ministry. Hence all bankpensioners who have not signed so far please sign the petition atleast now. I plead all the retiree assocation office bearers to advise their  members to sign the petition and make it a success.what is wrong in trying ?.We may not get this opportunity till the next bipartite settlement if we miss now. So bankpensioners please use this opportunity which has no costs and easy to do. In anticipation of your signataures .Wishing all better luck and success this time I remain. With regards.
