Bhubaneswar: Among the many steps that Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has taken post Cyclone Fani, is the distribution of additional one month’s pension to all eligible beneficiaries. This will enable them to purchase essential things of daily use.
Nearly 22,000 eligible beneficiaries under the various pension schemes like old-age pension, widow pension, pension for persons with disability (PWD), unmarried BPL woman above 30 years, HIV patients, leprosy patients and mentally challenged will get the pension for two times in the month of May.
Usually, pensioners get their pensions between 5th and 18th of every month and the distribution happens in phases across the 67 wards of the city. This time however, the “double-dose pension” will be distributed by May 17. A senior BMC official further clarified that even though in May the pension beneficiaries will get the “double dose”, they will get their June pension as usual.
