In a meeting of  the Jammu and Kashmir Pensioners  & Civil Society Association  held here today under the chairmanship of Ajit Singh Adyal,  the members discussed the issues of  State pensioners  and employees.  They pointed out that the implementation of  6th Pay Commission report in favour of  pre 01-01-2006 pensioners  with effect from January Ist, 2006 in respect of full pension payable instead of lesser pension, being paid to prorate basis  pension formula, has not been made applicable by the State Govt  as done by the Centre.
