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. Although the age of old-age pension has been reduced to 57 years, several MLAs in the assembly sessions brought to the notice of the CM KCR that many people didn't apply.
