Sir/ Madam
It would be in the larger common interest of the country as well as of the individuals if the brilliant idea of retiring Government employees on completing 60 years of age or 33 years of service is actually implemented w.e.f 01.04.2020. It will reduce burden on the exchequer as well as create job opportunities for needy new incumbents.
