The Kerala State Road Transport Pensioners’ Association today, 3rd December 2013, expressed their strong protest in the delay of Pension Payment in a new way. They are sitting on dharna before the State Secretariat for the last 13 days. Today plantain leaves were placed before them as usual for serving meals, but instead of meals they were served earth. This was a novel protest against the delay of the pension.

The State government should ensure that the poor pensioners are not starved. Their pension should be paid at the earliest.
