OROP JM AGITATION FIRST ANNIVERSARY--OPERATION DILLI CHALLO

Today being the first anniversary of OROP agitation at Jantar Mantar, National federation of ESM felicitates all associations & its members who have participated in this historic Non-violent agitation. 

This issue was outstanding for the last 40 years & many political parties and their successive Govts professed it but not implemented. Accidently the present political outfit which formed the Govt at centre also tried to take advantage the aspiration of ESM by including the OROP in their manifesto but soon after coming to power they were reluctant to grand OROP.

It is under these circumstances we have united under the leadership pf Col.Inderjeet Singh & Gen Satbir Singh and formed united front of ESM which eventually became a mass all India movement.

Realising the support it received from the various section of society, the reluctant Govt was forced to announce OROP though with some anomaly & efforts are still on to rectify the anomalies. The movement has shown an example to future generation of ESM to fight for their rightful dues in a non-violent manner.

Let us congratulates all the veterans who have participated in the agitation at JM & different parts of the country. We also salutes those veterans who have spear headed this movement 1976-77

OROP: Govt may extend tenure of judicial panel

The Centre informed Delhi High Court Thursday that the tenure of the one-member judicial commission to look into the public hearing of One Rank One Pension scheme will be extended, as representations filed by ex-servicemen and others are yet to be submitted to the Commission.

The central government’s standing counsel Anurag Ahluwalia, appearing on behalf of Defence Ministry, told the court that “over 2,500 representations” had been received by the ministry so far. “The representations are now being processed, and will then be submitted to the judicial commission,” said Ahluwalia, adding that the panel’s tenure “would have to be extended”.

Former Chief Justice of Patna High Court L Narsimha Reddy was appointed the judicial commissioner to look into the implementation of the OROP scheme. The commission was expected to submit its recommendations within six months and its tenure is set to expire on June 14.

Ex-serviceman S P Singh filed a PIL before the high court earlier this week, seeking orders to have an “effective public hearing” on the issue and claiming that the “people were not informed” how to submit their representations. The court, however, noted that a particular address had been allocated to the commission, and the representations could be sent via post.

7th pay commission report before Cabinet in the last week of June; notification soon

Zee News, 27 May, 2016 - New Delhi: Central government employees can expect to get some good news trickling in from government sources towards the end of June.

As per reports, the Finance Ministry is likely to table the 7th Pay Commission report to the Cabinet for approval in the last week of June.

The 7th pay panel headed by AK Mathur had recommended the minimum salary for central government employees at Rs 18,000 and maximum salary at Rs 2,50,000. As employees protested against the wage hike calling it the "lowest ever" raise, the government set up the Empowered Committee of Secretaries group to review the AK Mathur-panel's recommendations.

The Empowered Committee of Secretaries on the Seventh Central Pay Commission is expected to soon wrap up its report on the remuneration of government employees.

Sources added that even the Prime Minister's Office is keen on a favourable pay hike for the central government employees, so the panel is likely to recommend a minimum salary at Rs 24,000 and the highest salary at Rs 2,70,000.

Sources added that the government is exploring options for meeting the additional payout over and above what was recommended by the 7th pay panel. The payout could be substantial with salary hike and arrears adding up to a Rs 1.02 lakh crore burden on government finances.

Report add that once the report moves from the table of the empowered group of committee to the cabinet, there is no reason why the cabinet would inordinately delay it.

The Finance Ministry is keen that higher salaries reach government employees just before the festive season starting mid-August, as spurt in consumption during the festive period will have a domino effect on the economy.

LETTER SENT BY GEN SECRETARY AFVAI TO DESW REGARDING DELAY IN ISSUING CIRCULAR

Ma'am,

I am writing you this email in late night because I am not getting sleep due to people calling day and night about this circular. Are we near to issue this letter ?

The environment is very curious about it as You might be knowing that defence people (especially JCO/ORs) were chiefly affected by this draconian rule. Why I called it "draconian" because we are made to retire and then this rule was applied because we did not serve 33 yrs. To tell you that When I was retired, I was merely 34 years old juggling the roads of Mumbai for a job.

Anyway that is a matter of law and system is responsible for that, not any individual. But I sincerely request you to throw some light so people can be assured & made calm.

I eagerly wait for a line of communication 

Regards

Santosh K Singh
