GS SNPWA requests CGCA for the expeditious approval for establishment of a CCA Office at Kolhapur:
The proposal merits urgent and sympathetic consideration as it concerns more than 5,000 pensioners and family pensioners spread across the districts of Kolhapur, Sangli, Satara, Sindhudurg, Ratnagiri and Solapur. A significant proportion of these beneficiaries are over 70 years of age and are presently coerced to undertake arduous journeys of 300-500 kilometers to Mumbai even for routine pension-related work, causing avoidable physical, financial and mental agony and hardship.
The establishment of a CCA Office at Kolhapur would not merely be an administrative convenience; it would be a significant step towards ensuring accessible, responsive and humane public service. It would reduce delays in disposal of pension matters, facilitate effective grievance redressal, minimize travel expenses for elderly pensioners and give practical effect to the Government's vision of citizen-centric governance.
Needlees to say, Hon PM has been consistently emphasising upon and urging the policy makers to ensure that Senior Citizens are not subjected to unwarranted agony and distress because of nonexistence of facilities which can otherwise be extended. And this issue really fits in this scheme of things.
