RAILWAY EMPLOYEES RAISED THE DEMAND OF ONE RANK ONE PENSION

-
Aug 15, 2015, 07.53 PM IST, NEW DELHI: Now, railway employees too have raised the demand for One Rank One Pension, saying that they should not be ignored as like the defence personnel, they also have dedicated their services to the nation.
 
The issue of OROP for railway employees was discussed in the Seventh Pay Commission and we will raise the issue again, Shiv Gopal Mishra, general secretary of All-India Railwaymen's Fedration told mediapersons.
 
Currently there are 13.26 lakh employees working in the Railways.
 
"Railwaymen are performing dedicated service for the nation. Railway is the lifeline of the country. Employees are working round the clock across the country," Mishra said.
He, however, said servicemen in defence forces should get OROP but the same principle should also be applicable to railways.
 
"Our brothers in defence should get it as soon as possible. But at the same time we should also not be ignored," AIRF leader said.
 
Expressing disappointment over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Red Fort speech, Mishra said "PM should have offered something concrete on the OROP issue. Though there were expectations for an announcement on the issue, nothing happened."
 
PM in his Independence-day speech said, "In-principle the government has accepted the demand for OROP, but it is a long-pending issue. Discussions are underway and in the last stages."
 
Taking on lawmakers, he said, "MPs are increasing their salaries whenever they want to increase. They even get full pension irrespective of their term or attendance.”

Seventh Pay Commission May Not Lower Retirement Age

-
New Delhi: The Seventh Pay Commission is not likely to take a major decision of the lowering of the retirement age for central government employees to 58 years old, two years earlier than what the present law requires. Since studies show that Indian people reaching the age of 50 years old tend to suffer from a decline of cognitive and physical abilities. That older employees also find it harder to adapt to modern technology, which is must required to develop the nation. The youth people in country have increased and so the pay panel may want to focus on Youth unemployment as, “More retirees would mean more job openings for the youth.”
