e: Issues which are not sub-judice
This is just to report that I had a detailed talk over phone yesterday (20/12) with the Dir(Per) Shri Sharad Srivastava on some of pending issues which are not under any litigation and could be decided by LIC itself without any Govt approval. In particular I referred to the following matters on which we have been repeatedly approaching the management for a very long time.
1. Re-fixation of pension for 92-93 retirees : I apprised the D(P) of the latest favourable trend in regard to a section of SBI pensioners facing similar problem and pointed out that there was no justification in not extending the court decision on MC Jain's case to similarly placed pensioners who are all in very advanced age .I made a strong plea that this small group of pensioners deserved not to be driven to the court .The D(P) who gave a patient hearing indicated to have a re-look on the matter. 2. Domiciliary med. treatment expenses: I reiterated our demand that at least a beginning should be made by grant of monthly allowance in this behalf. It was also pointed out pensioners of some of the nationalised Banks were already getting this benefit.
Though naturally there was no commitment on the issues raised by me the D(P) agreed to my suggestion that the matters could be discussed by us with him and the Chairman at the earliest. I therefore proposed that there could be a meeting in early Jan. on a mutually convenient date to be fixed after the hearing in the Delhi HC on 4/1. We shall be following up the matters and revert to our members in due course.
With Greetings

Appeal by Sridharan G.N 6:02 PM (13 minutes ago) FAITH AND PRAYER deserve to be considered as one of the weapons to fight the virus menace. It is not without purpose that even the Westerners believe in the old dictum - 'many things are wrought by prayers'. Gandhiji said that the tenets of Hindu religion and faith has universal application .Our ancient texts do prescribe prayers as a panacea for all human ailments. For instance in Mahabharata - vide Dwadasa nama pancharam an appendix to Vishnu Sahasranamam - a sloka in the words of Bishma pitamah runs as follows: "Achyutha,Anantha,Govinda namocharana beshajath nasyanti sakala rohath ,Satyam satyam vadhamyaham" That is, he swears that uttering the various names of the Lord will cure a person of ALL his diseases.In another sloka it is said that even water from holy Ganga can be good enough a medicine (oushadam) if only we believe the Lord (sriman Narayana) as the doctor.(vaid...
