| Ex-CPFWA urges Govt to redress demands | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 14: Ex-Central Paramilitary Forces Welfare Association (ExCPFWA) today urged the Central Government to restore the pension benefit scheme and martyr status.
Addressing a press conference, D.K Chauhan, General Secretary of the Association, has demanded restoration of the pension benefits scheme (old pension scheme under CCS pension) rules 1972 for post 2004 personnel.
"The Government had introduced the New Pension Scheme (NPS) to the civil employees joining Government service after January 2004 and BSF has also been combined with the civil employees", he said, adding that the duty of the BSF is very tough and deserves restoration of the scheme as applicable to defence service.
He also demanded exemption of GST and functioning of Welfare And Rehabilitation Board (WARB) at district level under supervision of registered pensioners associations.
"Presently WARB is formed which is not effective since the services of the WARB are not properly beneficial for pensioners. The duties of the WARB and proposals for pensioners are required to be examined", he added.
He also demanded martyr status. "Martyr status is not being given to CPMFs so far. All facilities should be provided to CPMFs at par with Army and equal incentives", he added.
He said that it is the time to restore status of BSF for OROP as the BSF personnel are performing their duties for the security of nation at par with other security forces.
Others present in the press conference include Noor Mohd General Secretary Samba, Harbans Lal Sharma Vice President J&K (UT), Chamal Singh ITBP member, Hans Raj, Yash Pal and Puran Chand CPMF members. |
