Retirement Age Backlash

Terming the decision ‘regressive’ and is not in sync with its oft repeated propagation for job avenues to the younger generation, the Union opined that it will create more unemployment in the state.

The development is unfortunate and will usher in an era of stagnation that will have far reaching ramifications in the long run. The unfortunate decision has discredited the government and brought down its image in the eyes of students’ community, the AAPSU said in a release.
