The National Organization of the Rights of Pensioners is to launch an Island-wide Sathyakgraha campaign from 8th July. Convenor of the Pensioners' rights body Mahinda Jayasinghe said the Sathyakgraha campaign will be launched in respect of their demands to withdraw the suspension of the revision of their pensions, with effect from January 1, 2020. According to the Public Administration Circular 03/2016 issued in 2019,  the pensions of the public employees who retired after January 01, 2016, were to be increased.
