  1. sir,
    Most important is that retired persons should get medical fecility in their nearby area. pathology facilities are 20kilometer far from home places. Earlier it was in 4-5 kilometer range. If a sick person is moving 20 kilometer away from his or her place he or she will suffer more diseases. What is the benefit of life long package. Kindly consider our challenges.
    Thanks
