PROPOSAL FOR SETTING UP A SENIOR CITIZEN'S HOME CUM TRANSIT LODGE FOR OUR PENSIONERS.
WE HAVE RECEIVED A NUMBER OF REQUESTS FROM OUR MEMBERS, MAINLY IN THE DISTRICTS, TO SET UP SUCH A HOME, SO THAT THOSE VISITING KOLKATA EITHER ON HOLIDAY, OR FOR MEETINGS, OR FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT, CAN AT LEAST HAVE A ROOF ABOVE THEIR HEADS, TEMPORARILY, AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO LOOK FOR HOTELS AT HIGH COST. SUCH A LODGE CAN FUNCTION AS A PERMANENT/SEMI PERMANENT SENIOR CITIZEN'S HOME, AS WELL AS A TRANSIT HOME.
IDEALLY, IT SHOULD BE A SELF SUSTAINING HOME, AND RUN ON A NO PROFIT NO LOSS BASIS. IF SOME OF OUR MEMBERS LIVING IN KOLKATA OR IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF KOLKATA, HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL ROOMS WITH TOILETS WHICH CAN BE UTILIZED FOR THIS PURPOSE, AT A REASONABLE COST, WE CAN START THE FACILITY IN A SMALL WAY, IMMEDIATELY. WE MAY EVEN TAKE UP A SMALL FLAT WITH A FEW ROOMS, AT A LOW COST, AND RECOVER THE COST FROM THOSE UTILIZING THE FACILITY. WE INVITE RESPONSES FROM PENSIONERS, TO THIS IDEA, BOTH FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF AVAILING OF SUCH FACILITY, AS WELL AS FROM THE PERSECTIVE OF GIVING US THE WHEREABOUTS OF SUCH ACCOMMODATION IN OR AROUND KOLKATA.

UPDATE OF SUPREME COURT CASE AS ON 27.02.2013
THE CASE WAS HEARD TODAY (27.02.2013). AFTER HEARING THE COUNSEL FOR THE GOVT. OF INDIA, THE COURT ORDERED THAT THE CASE BE TAKEN UP BY A HIGH COURT FOR DISPOSAL WITHIN 4 MONTHS, AS SUPREME COURT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO ENTERTAIN SERVICE MATTER CASES DIRECTLY. OUR FEDERATION HAS, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS CHOSEN DELHI HIGH COURT. NO FRESH PETITION OR AFFIDAVITS BY EITHER SIDE WILL BE NECESSARY, AND THE CASE WILL BE DISPOSED OF BY DELHI HIGH COURT ON A PRIORITY BASIS. WE ARE AWAITING FURTHER DETAILS AND THE EXACT ORDER WHICH WILL BE UPLOADED IN THE WEBSITE OF SUPREME COURT, AND THEREAFTER WE SHALL UPLOAD THE SAME IN OUR WEBSITE.
WE REQUEST MEMBERS TO REMAIN HOPEFUL OF AN EARLY DISPOSAL OF OUR PETITION.
