The Telangana government has given good news for the pensioners and stated that it will accept applications from people of age 57 for the old-age pension. CS Somesh Kumar was directed to make necessary arrangements in all the service centers to this extent.
The chief secretary suggested that all those who are eligible should apply and directed that arrangements be made to apply from the 11th to the 30th of this month.
