Retired govt servant seeks Prez's consent for death wish

Agra, Apr 6 (UNI) A retired government servant here has sought the presidential consent for a death wish after being denied pension since 1995.

Mr Kamal Narayan had retired as an accounts clerk in September 1995 from Govind Ballabh Pant Agricultural and Technology University, Uddham Singh Nagar in Uttaranchal (then in Uttar Pradesh).

Kamal alleges that since retirement, he had been denied pension facilities. He laments that he had made several representations to the concerned authorities, but nothing was done.

The harried retired man says his ailing wife is not getting medical attention, due to his fragile financial condition. He even claims that his family is on the verge of starvation.

He has now written a letter to President A P J Abdul Kalam pleading that he should be extended pension facility by May 15, otherwise his death wish be granted.
