However, the Commissionerate of Intermediate Education had recently issued an order reducing it to 58 years, which has caused a lot of mental anguish among contract junior lecturers and would affect them hard, said Association general secretary Dr. K Suresh said.

He appealed to the Education Minister to revoke the decision of Commissionerate and enhance contract junior lecturers’ superannuation age to 61 years.
