Incorrect media reports regarding old age pension in Jamalpur

This refers to media reports regarding discontinuation of IGNOAPS pension to one minority beneficiary of Jamalpur. The reports have factual inaccuracies, assumptions based on unverified claims and incomplete news omitting any response of appropriate authority. Facts are :-
1. Her pension discontinued based on annual field verification reports from the GP as GP wanted to recommend another lady with the same BPL ID, who was underage. She was nowhere reported dead in any Govt reports as claimed.
2 When the matter was brought to the notice of the administration on 9th October 2012, local BDO was asked by me to restore her pension after proper field verification. PDO conducted field enquiries and recommended her pension. Rs 2400 were released to her on 17th October 2012 for the period from July 2011 to December 2011. Arrears @ Rs 400 pm from Jan to Sep 2012 sanctioned and to be released after Puja Holidays.
3. 86000 persons get IGNOAPS in Burdwan district @ Rs 400 pm. More than 680 beggars included in this year by district administration through special drive.
