Amiya Mondal (77), who served the CSTC for 38 years from 1952 to 1990, led the protests. “In 2007, the Calcutta High Court had ruled in our favour that the CSTC should clear all our arrears and make regular payments of their pension amount. But even now, we face irregular payments. Sometimes it is deposited once in three months,” said Mondal.
