Vinod Kumar Mishra,Office Supdt/Grey Iron Foudry, Jabalpur, at the time-(when his pension paper was prepared & forwarded to CDA/Pension Allahabad) had optioned for Fixed Medical Allowance, but his option has not yet been considered on the basis of one unreasonable Ground- (i.e Address having considered under CGHS-Area)- with solution that- No Objection from the local authority of CGHS/JBP may be helpful in this regard...But due to inaction at the part of GIF-Management, it is still pending since long/from the year-2011. Request is made to look into the matter on priority...with a view to give proper justice to the option made by one poor-pensioner....Thanks
