- Verification term extended by two months: Deputy Chief Minister Shri Nitinbhai Patel
Deputy Chief Minister Shri Nitinbhai Patel has said that pensioners / family pensioners receiving pension in the state have to verify their annual survival. For which pensioners have to go to the bank or treasury in person.
