Our protest should be dignified especially in the case of the present Governor who is straightforward and well meaning and sees merit in the request for updation of pension.But then he should also introspect whether it is fair for him to take so much time to resolve the matter. Let us hope that silent protests beginning from July last year in Chennai are not met with continued silence from the Bank!!

Congratulations to all those who took part in the silent protest. I feel there is no better way than to protest silently. After all, as retirees, we are all senior citizens and should set standards of protest.
The silver line is that the protest has been taken note of the by the Central Board. If we persist with such peaceful and effective protests, the day is not far off when our efforts will fructify. Once again Congratulations to all the participants at Guwahati.
