Mysore/Mysuru: With the deadly COVID-19 contagion continuing its rampage across the country, the State NPS (Non Pension Scheme) employees have appealed the Government to use their contribution totalling a whopping Rs. 12,500 crore for tackling the pandemic.
In a letter to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, Karnataka State NPS Employees Association President Shantaram said that it is the social responsibility of the Government to vaccinate people and treat COVID patients for free. As such, the State Government should join hands with NPS Trust for withdrawing the contribution money invested in NSDL (National Securities Depository Limited) and use it for managing COVID crisis, he said.
