JAMMU, July 7: The monthly meeting of the Retirees Police League District Jammu was held today, chaired by S. Karanjit Singh, President of the League.
The meeting addressed several pressing issues faced by retired police personnel, including the non-availability of medicines at the Police Hospital and discrepancies in pension payments for personnel of the same rank.
A significant case discussed involved a retired Sub Inspector who recently underwent open-heart surgery in New Delhi, costing approximately Rs 7 lakhs. The Police Headquarters was requested to provide immediate financial assistance, as arranging such a large sum is challenging for retired personnel.
