SRINAGAR, June 7:  A delegation of J&K Central Government Pensioners’ Welfare Association (CGPWA) comprising S.S. Wazir, President, CGPWA, G.N. Kanth, Vice-President CGPWA, Mohd. Shafi Pandit, Dr. Rafeeq Masoodi, G.M. Dilshad, and Mushtaq Sadiq, met Governor N.N. Vohra at the Raj Bhavan here today.
The delegation briefed the Governor about the problems faced by the members of their Association and their families. They requested the Governor’s intervention for the early redressal of their difficulties.
Governor assured the Association of his help and urged the delegation and all their other colleagues to get involved with the resolution of the problems facing the people and, as the very first step, for the Association to start utilising its valuable collective talent and the lifelong experiences of its eminent members, to urgently commence a contact programme to influence and re-orient the youth, particularly the students, to focus on their studies and future careers and strongly resist being exploited by varied negative elements.
