Yes of course the Government has to set up the Sixth Pay Commission and raise the wages of the Government Employees, including the pensions of those retired employees. How can some one survive on low wages and pensions, when the Indian economy is growing and the standard of living is becoming higher day by day? What about medical expenses,and why are we not talking of the 1000's of crores of rupees that a retired persons have lost on their provident funds invested in savings in Banks etc. All do not have the intelligence to invest in Stocks!!
At the same time the Government has to take strict measures to reshape the Government bodies like the Railways, the Postal Offices, the Police, the Civic bodies. The Railways for example--many departments--like the smith shop, electrical department have been given on contract basis--and the number of employees are the same in the respective departments. People work only during the morning time, and the afternoon is spent playing cards. The Postal staff has to be innovative and start new sections like Money Transfers, Courier deliveries etc. Shape up or get closed down should be the motto! But wage rise for those working and retired is must.
