Senior citizen concession

Why we all senior citizens are silent on this topic.
Our facility of concession was stopped in corona, since then IR is deceiving us by not giving discount.
Govt starts new schemes in elections to distribute huge amount of money to different people in the form of monthly installments to eradicate poverty.
But Senior citizens are neglected.Even MLA,MP, ministers are entitled for pension as soon as they are elected .These people spend crores of rupees in elections.
But old aged seniors, who can't work,can't have demonstration, no pension, no source of income, are being neglected by Govt .
They too have voting right as others have . more

We are toothless and armless. In our Govt's view we hardly matter. Although we are around 13 crores, but are scattered thru out India. Although most of us have paid taxes all our life. I feel Govt must do some thing specially for those who are non Pensioner. Seeing the sky Rocketing inflation and rising Medical Expenses. more  
LC should do a survey an and send the same to the PM for his views in taking necessary actions and in lot of Lc mails it has been reportedt but no actions till now if anything needs to be done it has tobe by thhe present govt ottherwise we cannot expect anyth ng any other govt will do more  
First stop pensions and freebies of elected member. Cut perks of MPs/MLAs by 70% to create level playing field for all. more  
Hello Scholars , Stop Begging with govt or Else , anybody. This is Old Fashioned Habits of Hindians. freebies , Concession , Free Electricity ??? Free Housing . Now they only have job to produce the children's, Most of them also they don't have that capability. Instead of Begging with Govt. ask Govt. To Stop all these Nonsense to get the votes from Peoples. Put Supreme kotha to take action on such types of False Promises & How they Full fill if they get elected. Do You have guts for this ? Only Concession is Narrative. I am also Sr. Citizen & Never like to beg . If You Don't have money avoid the travel. as Per My Observations Sr. Citizens & Peoples are taking mis advantages of all facilities. Every Improvement Require money . where it will come ? Also the Cost of Transportation for small child , Young peoples & Old Peoples is same . Then why Concession ? Govt. should Verify the Income with PAN No & Pension . All Govt. Officers are earning Pension more than MBA Graduates , B Tech Person. First Identify the Person & His Income. 98 % doesn't fit for Concession & Peoples who actually need the concession Don't Cry on social Media. The Officer who is responsible for publishing this types of post should be Held responsible under spreading Fake Narratives of few persons. more  
I completely agree with the points raised by Satyapal ji, Arup ji, Anil ji, and Santhi ji. It is time we channel this collective agreement into formal action. I propose that our circle administrator draft an official petition from the 'Make Railways Better' group to the Ministry of Railways and the Prime Minister's Office. The petition should formally urge the government to restore senior citizen concessions under a sustainable, optimized model (such as limiting it to essential travel classes or linking it to income criteria). Let’s demonstrate the true impact of this platform. If you support launching a formal group petition on this matter, please reply 'SUPPORT' below to get the admin's attention. more
