Jaipur, June 10: Over 350 widows of employees of Rajasthan state cooperative societies in various villages of Rajasthan have been reportedly deprived of family pension benefits for the last 12 years, according to the state president of primary agricultural society managers' union. The provident fund and gratuity matters of 352 widows of the employees were also still pending, president of Pasmu D C Bhansali told reporters here. Bhansali alleged the fate of 3500 employees working for 5000 societies was "most uncertain" as they were being given "step motherly treatment" by the Gehlot government.
The union would launch a two-day protest from June 19 if its demands were not met, he said.
