JAMMU, Apr 2: Ex-Central Paramilitary Forces Welfare Association has demanded Separate Armed Forces Service and Pension Rules for Paramilitary Forces instead of CCS Rules.
In a press conference here today Shashi Kumar Sharma, Association president also demanded that Paramilitary Forces being Armed Forces, should be exempted from New Pension Scheme (NPS).
He urged upon the Union Home Ministry to consider their demands which also include One-Rank One Pension and CSD canteen facilities instead of Central Police Canteen at State/District level.
The Association president also demanded extension of proper medical treatment facilities for retired personnel of Paramilitary Forces at district level and all post retirement benefits to them which are available to Defense Forces Ex-Servicemen/Widows and dependants.
He said that the Paramilitary Forces fight the enemy and render sacrifices in a similar way personnel of Defence Forces do but the benefits and concessions extended to Defence Forces under the MOD are not being extended to Armed Forces under MHA which is against the law and the ethics of natural justice.
Noor Mohd, D.K Chauhan, Ashok Kumar, Chamal Singh and Harbans Lal were also present in the press conference.
