¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, my name was mentioned in my absence. Some in the Opposition misunderstand what I said. I clearly explained that the issues of 2016–2019 retirees have been resolved in three phases. There is no separate 2020–2024 “group”; rather, all who retire up to 31.12.2024 have issues to be addressed hereafter. Let us keep that clarification on record.
