A general body meeting of the Odisha Retired Diploma Engineers’ Association was held here under the chairmanship of its president Bipin Bihari Nayak on Tuesday.
The members alleged that even if 23 State Governments are providing different facilities like healthcare allowance, death allowance and other facilities to the pensioners, the Odisha Government is showing a dillydallying attitude towards it.
The members also paid tributes to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee and association founder Braja Mohan Ray Chudamani and held a two minutes’ silent prayer.
Among others, association advisor Darpa Narayan Das, general secretary Bamadev Tripathy, Sarada Prasad Mohanty, Dhaval Prasad Choudhury, Janardhan Ray, Krushna Chandra Sahu, Pradip Mahapatra, Debraj Biswal and Birendra Narayan Mishra were present.
