Currently a relay hunger strike is being held by members of IESM at Nw Delhi in a bid to remind the govenment to implement the OROP at the earliest.

"Our demand is that pension should be at par to that of rank and duty, it shouldn't be different because the retirement dates were different. It's sad that vererans who gave the best of their years in defending the borders and fighting terrorists are forced to fight for their physical survival after retirement on insufficient and irrational pension.," the Brigadier added.
