In case we are not healed, we along with our families, veer naris and dependents all over the country all to get over streets and roads and the responsibility of this logjam is sheerly of Gal.
They further request the Central Government, particularly Hon'ble Home Minister and Hon'ble Prime Minister to please keep your promises and look after our genuine and fundamental demands of OROP, Paramilitary Service Pay, Grade Pay, Revision of Pension, Widow Pension, CSD and Medical Facilities, Reserve Quota for wards, allotment of accommodation and employment of Widows, are to be mitigated on top priority. |
