SAMBA, May 20: Non-Gazetted Police Pensioners’ Welfare Forum today highlighted their demands during a meeting held here at Vijaypur Block office under the chairmanship of Forum chairman, Ajit Singh.
Addressing the meeting, Ajit Singh said that Government is giving the effect of its Order No 229-F of 2014 dated 7-10-2014 regarding pay anomaly, from the date of order though the effect should be given from the year 1996 when fifth Pay Commission was implemented throughout the State leaving only police department.
He criticized the Government and the Police Department for ignoring the just and genuine demand of the poor police pensioners, stating that since the Forum launched their struggle to get their rights, Government is constituting committee after committee but doing nothing to redress the issue.
Singh said that first pay anomaly committee was formed in the year 2009, another was constituted on September 2011 and the third one was formed on April 2016. He said that the Forum wants that like previous two committees, the third one should not be time killing. “As such we want to know the time frame because the issue is lingering on from last 20 years”, he added.
