T HIS is to share my feelings with the teaching staf f in government schools who believe in leaving this world one day. This is to make them aware that their families are most likely to f ace the feelings of worthlessness and insult while visiting the departmental offices to follow up for f amily pensions.

I have submitted the following documents to the education office and you can think of the number of departments visited. The f amily pension form (FormDII), death certificate, Nadra family registration certificate;affidavit/oath statement by the widow; succession certificate issued by the civil court; the non-remarriage certificate; the certificate of the lawful widow; undertaking of overpayment; the entitlement declaration; attested photocopies of CNICs. I also submitted the pension book and related documents, the descriptive roll of the widow, attested photographs of the widow, the nomination form submitted by the deceased pensioner.

Going from one table to another tableand from one of fice to another, I have spent 16 weeks. My pension case is pending at the CEO (education) of fice, Hall Road, with diary No. CEO/DEA/7577 and the of ficial there just ignores my visit saying every time that it is the secretary`s job to issue orders to process family pension cases and perhaps he is most probably too busy for this task.

I have also made an appeal to the chief minister`s complaint cell in this regard but thereis alsonoresponse.
