JAMMU, Jan 19: JKDF State president Anil Gupta today reiterated that party was determined to work for the welfare and resettlement of ex-servicemen and their families.
Participating as chief guest in the 3rd Raising Day of All J&K Paramilitary Forces Ex-Servicemen Welfare Association at Muthi, Anil Gupta said that JKDF would raise the issue of granting dual pension to personnel of Paramilitary forces in case a retired person from these forces is reemployed in any Civil Department of Central or State Government.
The Government decision to grant dual pension in this regard is currently applicable to only retired defence forces personnel.
“Keeping the Paramilitary forces out of these recommendations is unfair as well injustice to the thousands of retired personnel and their families of this country,” Anil Gupta said and alleged that these disparities have arisen due to lackadaisical approach of Government to recognize the services of ex- Paramilitary forces personnel at par with the Defence forces.
