New Delhi: The official notification for One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme will be issued before Diwali, defence minister Manohar Parrikar on Friday said.
The announcement comes on a day when protesting ex- servicemen decided to step up their protests and return their medals across the country starting 9 November.
“As you are aware, it will be issued before Diwali,” Parrikar told reporters in New Delhi in reply to a question when the official notification on OROP will come out.
The government had on 5 September announced the OROP scheme for the veterans but an official notification was awaited.
The government has cited the Model Code of Conduct for the Bihar polls as the reason behind the delay. Even after government had announced OROP scheme, a section of the veterans had continued their protest citing seven lacunae, including annual equalisation, 2013-14 as the base year among others.

ESM MUMBAI RALLY

Mumbai rally today the Oct 31 was a tremendous and resounding success. It is another shot in arm in our endeavour to go Pan India. Azad Maidan has a capacity of Five to Seven thousands and it was bursting at its seams.
ESMs from all the districts of Maharashtra thronged the venue.
Motorcycle rally was a huge draw for the Mumbaikers. Col Roy Guinness book of world record holder lent his charm to the MC Rally despite his mature age.
Bollywood celebrities Bhumika Chawla and Priya Gill enlivened the atmosphere with their charming presence and address. 
Ms Sunita Garware a known personality of Mumbai and d/o Lt Gen Bakshi ex comdt NDA expressed her solidarity and made very significant financial contribution.
Col Advani leading the missed call campaign apprised that he has reached the figure of 28 lakh. His tgt is two crore and his company Haweyey will bear the full expenditure of 25 Lakh.
.
AT THE END EVERYONE WAS LEFT WITH NO DOUBT THAT OROP AS ANNOUNCED BY DEF MINISTER IS A SHAM POLITICAL STATEMENT AND NOT ACTUAL OROP AS APPROVED BY TWO HOUSES OF THE PARLIAMENT.
If actual OROP is not announced by the govt by Diwali ESMs all over India will celebrate KALI DIWALI.
Media coverage was good and we are thankful to entire media spectrum. However taste of the pudding will be known tomorrow.

Retired paramilitary officials to hold OROP stir from tomorrow

After military veterans, retired paramilitary officials will now hold a ‘dharna’ here tomorrow demanding One Rank One Pension (OROP) benefits and other privileges under the ex-servicemen category.
An association of former officials of forces like CRPF, BSF, ITBP, CISF and SSB will hold the sit-in at Jantar Mantar for implementation of their demands which they say have been in the waiting for the last over a decade.
“Our major demands to the government are the granting of OROP to paramilitary veterans like military personnel, exemption of serving troops from contributory pension scheme and extending full benefits to these forces under the ex-servicemen category.
“The ‘dharna’ and protest will begin on November 2 at 10 AM at Jantar Mantar,” national general secretary of the All India Central Paramilitary Forces and Ex-servicemen Welfare Association P S Nair said.
He said the association has already sent a memorandum to the government in this regard and failing to get any reply they have decided to begin the protest here.
“The country cannot sleep peacefully even for a day without the paramilitary forces. There is no proper rehabilitation ensured for these forces.We need the support of the government and public in bettering the lives of these men and women who are on job 24×7 in hard working conditions,” Nair said, adding the defence and paramilitary forces should be kept on equal footing while granting service benefits.
The association claims to have support of a maximum number of state chapters in this regard and has met senior government leadership in this context earlier.
The agitators have also demanded that benefits of health care and canteen facilities should be extended to the families of both the serving and retired personnel.
“The agitation beginning tomorrow will be held for three-four days and if the government does not listen to us we will begin a large action from March next year,” Nair said.
There are about nine lakh personnel serving in these forces working under the Union Home Ministry while there are an equal number of retired personnel and their families in the country.
