No plans to increase retirement age of employees: UP govt

Uttar Pradesh government today said that it has no plans to increase the retirement age of its employees from the existing 60 years.
In reply to a question on whether the government planned to increase the retirement age as the appointment age has been increased to 40 years so that the employees could get full benefits such as gratuity, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Azam Khan said that there is no such plan as of now.
"Increasing the retirement age would harm the rights of educated unemployed... It is right that those joining service at the age of 40 get lesser time but there is no plan to increase the retirement age", Khan said.

The question was asked by Anupriya Patel of Apna Dal during the Question Hour.
The parliamentary affairs minister, in reply to supplementaries on another question by Dharampal Singh of BSP on government's plan on checking cyber crime, said that it was difficult to check those starting from foreign land.
Commenting on the functioning of two cyber units in Lucknow and Agra, Akhilesh Kumar Singh of Peace Party told the House that his complaint about some people making his fake facebook accounts and posting matter against the chief minister, SP chief and others on it could not be solved by the unit in Lucknow.

Khan termed the matter as a serious.
