The deputation was lead by Ajit Singh, Forum Chairman.
The Forum members informed the Advisor that retired police pensioners are facing discrimination in pay anomaly which must be removed immediately.
They quoted a government order of the year 2014 regarding anomaly which gives effect prospectively (from the date of order).

They said that Finance Department had sought clarification from the Director General of Police (DGP) regarding the pay anomalies to retiree ASIs and Head Constables and the DGP office in turn had replied that an amount of Rs 5,93,25000 should be released to ASIs and Head Constables.
