65-year-old Pujar Dang has been trying to get his old age pension for past 3 years. He has met the Jan Sevak, Village Head and even the Ward member regarding his pension but is simply being made to travel from pillar to post. Pujar lives in Ramjadi Panra toli hamlet of Idega panchayat, where 10 more elderly are suffering the brunt of government apathy. Without a source of livelihood, the elderly find it extremely difficult to make the ends meet.
