JAMMU, Apr 5: Non-Gazetted Police Pensioners Welfare Forum today held a protest demonstration here at Exhibition Ground to press the Government to fulfill their long pending demand regarding pay anomaly.
A large number of retired non-gazetted police personnel under the leadership Ajit Singh gathered at Exhibition Ground and started raised slogans against the Government for ignoring their long pending demand regarding pay anomalies.
Addressing the protestors, 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 also reiterated other demands of the Forum which include 15 % quota for wards of police personnel in recruitment in police department and professional courses, implementation of one rank-one pension in police department and clearing all cases of compassionate appointment.
He also stressed for sanctioning a sum of Rs 50,000 at the time of marriage of daughters/ sons of police persons/retirees and also at the time of death of police personnel/ retirees for performing the last rites.
