Failure to Deliver Old Age Pension in Jharkhand
Channel: VideoVolunteers
Date: 2013-02-19

24 elderly citizens in a village in Kutani Block of West Singhbum District have been awaiting expecting their old age pensions for the last 4 years.

All formalities are complete. The people have registered for the scheme and their names have been approved for the stipend. They have opened bank accounts. But there has been no sign of the money.

Kamal Kishor Purthy, IndiaUnheard Community Corespondent who produced today's video is currently pursuing the matter with the concerned authorities. Talks are ongoing and Kamal reckons he can hear the creaks of long closed iron doors trying to slide open. Kamal and the eldery citizens of  Janumbega village are hoping for the best.

Keep watching this space as we bring you reports from Kamal's activism on the ground as he attempts to transform this issue to a possible impact.
