Ludhiana, Oct. 8 -- Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) hasn't received any pension funds for over two months now forcing the varsity to pay pensions out of other funds.

"We didn't receive the funds in the pension head for the last two months. This month also, we haven't received the funds yet," confirmed a senior varsity official on the condition of anonymity.

He said that the government has asked the varsity to pay the pensions out of the other funds and the fees. "The government has said that they will reimburse the varsity for the capital spent on pensions."

The Pensioners and Retirees Welfare Association on Tuesday announced that they will hold a protest on October 9 against the non-payment of pension funds.
