EOBI retirees struggling

The recent federal budget has stipulated a 15 per cent increase in the pension of all retired government employees. However, the government has ignored the pensioners registered with the Employees’ Old-Age Benefit Institution (EOBI) . Are they not Pakistani citizens? Are they not facing the impact of horrible inflation in the country? At present, EOBI pensioners receive Rs10,000 per month, which is simply not enough. A family cannot be supported with this amount. The relevant offices in Islamabad should take notice of the issue and announce a decent increase for all EOBI pensioners.
