The demand for OROP for retired servicemen across the country will be taken up in the city as well. Ex- Army personnel from Navi Mumbai will sit on two-day dhrana at Belapur Railway Station on Jan 15 and 16 from 10 to 5 pm. 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. The decision to hold the dharna in the city is a means to show solidarity towards fraternity's efforts in bringing about a change in the pensoning system of ex-servicemen.
"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.
