  1. Govt and workers unions both are abnormally keeping mum on OROP FOR CIVILIAN PENSIONERS despite that 7th pay commission’s recommendations were accepted by central govt. It is so because govt feels that these old and feeble penioners do not have a voice.

    So, all civilian central pensioners please come forward and show our strength.
    Suggestions in this regard are welcome.

  2. What about the implementation of one rank one pension for the civilian employees of central government pensioners as agreed in seventh pay commotion.
