Ex-CPMF Welfare Association projects demands | | | Early Times Report JAMMU, Sept 15: Ex-Central Paramilitary Forces (CPMF) Welfare Association has demanded Separate Armed Forces Service and Pension Rules for Paramilitary Forces instead of CCS Rules. In a press conference here today D.K. Chauhan, General Secretary of the Association said, "The Paramilitary Forces fight the enemy and render sacrifices in a similar way personnel of Defence Forces do but the benefits and concessions extended to Defence Forces under the MOD are not being extended to Armed Forces under MHA which is against the law and the ethics of natural justice." "The service condition of paramilitary forces is regulated by a strong set of Acts with the provision to award punishment up to court-marital similar to Defence forces but unfortunately their pay perks and post retirement benefits including pension are governed by Central Civil Service (Pension) rules 1972, under which they are being provided the benefits only equal to central Government civilian employees," he added. The serving and former members widows and dependent of the paramilitary forces are being downgraded in front of their fellow citizens and family members while they are exposed to similar risk patterns as defense forces, he further said. He demanded that Paramilitary Forces being Armed Forces, should be exempted from New Pension Scheme (NPS). He urged upon the Union Home Ministry to consider their demands which also include One-Rank One Pension and CSD canteen facilities instead of Central Police Canteen at State/District level. The Association General secretary also demanded exemption of GST, functioning of WARB at district level under supervision of registered pensioners associations, Martyr status to CPMFS, extension of proper medical treatment facilities for retired personnel of Paramilitary Forces at district level and all post retirement benefits to them which are available to Defense Forces Ex-Servicemen/Widows and dependents. Association urged Union Minister Dr Jatindra Singh and Member Parliament Jugal Kishore Sharma to discuss their demands with Central Government for early redressal. |
