WB CM Announces Pension

The West Bengal government has identified 325 individuals who faced imprisonment during the Emergency period. These individuals will now receive a monthly pension of Rs 10,000 as a token of appreciation for their sacrifices. The move is seen as a gesture of respect towards those who fought for democracy during a tumultuous period in Indian history. The announcement aligns with the central government's observance of 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas', which commemorates the imposition of Emergency in 1975. The pension scheme is a significant step towards acknowledging the hardships faced by these individuals and their families.
