The Government Retirees Alliance Collective from 2020 to 2024 stages a silent protest in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on October 8, 2025. Government retirees in Sri Lanka who leave public service between 2020 and 2024 protest pension disparities, claiming their benefits are unfairly reduced due to lower basic pay during a period marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and the country's worst economic crisis in decades. With severe inflation, currency devaluation, and austerity measures, their pension rates are calculated on depressed salary levels. The situation worsens when the 2025 budget increases public sector salaries by 70-80%, leaving this cohort at a significant disadvantage compared to others. These pensioners argue that their retirement benefits do not reflect the current economic adjustments and demand fair compensation.
