Doctors who are pension holders, came under the banner of the Pensioner Doctors Association, Punjab, protested against the Punjab government's decision to pay the pending pension arrears from January 2016 to June 2021 in installments, extending until September 2028.
The association announced plans to extend these demonstrations to other districts in collaboration with various pensioners’ and employees’ organizations facing similar issues. Addressing the gathering, association president Dr. D.C. Sharma, along with vice-president Dr. D.S. Bhullar and other senior members, criticized the government for prioritizing excessive advertising expenses instead of addressing the financial struggles of retired doctors. They urged the administration to release the pending pension arrears in a single installment without further delay.
