Dear Mohinder Padda
This is an old news regarding enhancement of pensions of JCOs and Jawan which the Govt had approved but not sanctioned. We had got the issue raised in Parliament on 03 Mar 2010 and consequently the Govt sanctioned the already withheld approval to enhance pensions of JCOs and Jawans to correct old anomaly amounting to Rs 2200 croes on 08 Mar 2010. Hear again, the Govt did not enhance the pension of widows, the most needy segment of defence pensioners. This was not OROP. We have been relentlessly working hard to ask the Govt to grant OROP. We will succeed. Request to all Defence Personnel and their family members is to Unite and collectively intensify the Movement to get Justice to the Defence Veterans.
With Regards,
Yours Sincerely
