GS SNPWA had a detailed discussion with Shri Sumantra Pal, Economic Advisor, DPE, who oversees IDA issue.
Even though majority of CPSUs have sent the desired information, yet a few still remain. Further Advisor mentioned that efforts on war footing basis are underway to secure the said information as quickly as possible.
Advisor was visbily disturbed that many CPSUs have not sent the requisite information sought by DPE to streamine the mess that exists in DPE with regard to CPSEs. The said information, Advisor said, is personally sought by Secy/ DPE, and he is very keen that orders will be issued only after information is obtained fromall CPSEs.
Advisor, while agreeing to GS's assertion that Pensioners are extremely agitated over inordinate delay in issuing the orders, assured that frantic efforts are underway to secure the said information, after which orders would be issued instantaneously.
Advisor finally asked GS to speak next week.
