CPMF holds dharna, demands OROP | | | Jammu, Sept 12: All-India Central Paramilitary Forces (CPMF) retired personnel of various paramilitary forces sat on dharna at Jantar Mantar in the capital demanding one rank one pension (OROP) benefits and other privileges under the ex-servicemen category. An association of former officials of forces like the Central Reserve Police Force, Border Security Force, Indo-Tibetan Border Police, Central Industrial Security Force and Sashastra Seema Bal sat on a dharna to press their demands which they said should be conceded as they are undertaking similar rigors and hardships as the defence forces. Association President R.B. Pathak said the agitation by the paramilitary veterans will intensify in the coming days and they will hold a big rally next year, which may include a hunger strike, if there is no positive communication from the government. He added the major demands to the government are the granting of OROP to the paramilitary veterans like the military personnel, exemption of serving troops from contributory pension scheme and extending full benefits to these forces under the ex-servicemen category. The association of the paramilitary forces has sent a memorandum to the government and after having failed to get a reply, they decided to launch their stir. They said their fight for right agitation has a 10-point charter which includes a demand for change in the common identity name from Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) to Central Paramilitary Forces (CPMFs). |
