I am pleased to inform all that the number of supporters signing the petition reached 13060 now. Today it is learnt that the nine unions of UFBU have also submitted a petition to Mrs.Nirmala Seetharaman for early settlement of bipartite through the website Change.org . Our petition is also through the same site and we can be happy about our stand on the petition. Some bankpensioners questioned the very need of this  petition. If the news is correct this is a answer to their questions. Anyhow we need not be complacent and bank pensioners in general should continue the efforts towards signing this petition. with the increase in numbers the petition should gain importance at the Finance Ministry . If the total numbers should reach atleast 50%of the numbers of the bank pensioners then it will be definitely a success and we can expect some solution. So now the bank pensioners who have  not signed so far have to sign the petition and support their cause of pension updation. Wishing goodluck and success,with regards.M Kamalaksha kini
