buliding bridge with missing spans--- the COS style for jawans.

 The   GOI appointed a committe e of secretaries  to   look into and rectify the   anomalies and  complaints   which created a lot of hue and cry by the   defence pensionerswhuich was dutifully  highlited by the media.  The most important  complaint  was regarding the  wide gap that existed between the pre- and post  2006  pensioers'.Tthe other  major    demand was to   equalise the pension  of all  retirees  who were given  pension  as per thre different  tables. The sixth pay commission  created one more class of pensioners raising the number of  classes of pensiners to four.

 The most importanrt and long standing demand  was that of OROP  WHICH WAS REJECTED DOWNRIGHT  by the COS   and also made a categorical  reference that any attempt to usher in  OROP is to be opposed tooth and nail AND QUOTED, SC JUDGEMENTS   selectively and recommendations of the law and  finance ministries   to that effect.In the  process of quoting  it turned a blind eyeto the recommendations of the parliamentary committees, recent judgements of the SC favouring  OROP [major gen. case]  and  the reference made by her ex. the prsident in the floor of the house  and  the emtional  act of the  sodiers in returning their hard earned and precious  service medals.

However the  committee after  deliberations came to the conclusion  that there should only be two categories of pensioners, that is  pre 6 pay commision and post 6 pay commission. so far so good.

 Thecommittee also felt that the gap between these two categories of pensioners  are to be bridged  towards the cause of  natural justice. A very resonable  conclusion  by all  standards.but the committee  was   cruel   enough to call  this recommendation to meet the ends of justice a  new CONCESSION   and  stated that the effective date of implementation  will  be    prospective in nature. what a wonderful  sense of reasoning.THE COMMITTEE AGREeS THAT 1 THE GAP IS CREATED BY THE 6 PAY COMMISSION SINCE 01012006,2 THE GAP IS TO BE BRIDGED TO MEET THE ENDS OF NATURAL JUSTICE.  but the commission recommends tobuild this bridge for the cause of  natural justice to the  demands of the jawans   with   SPANS MISSING. a wonderfull brdge with spans missing from 10101206 to the date  of  theimplemantation. so much for  the  demands of the JAWANS.

 The most  astonishing fact is that  exservice organisations  both recognised and  unrecognised   have conviniently  ignored the  case of this MISSING  SPAN  IN THIS PROMISED BRIDGE. this mising span is  sure to deprieve the jawans of the arrears  for about 44 months   at the rate of 1900 to 1200 rupees per month. hence this blog  seeks the attention of all concerned   who can be of any help to  solve thecase of  this missing span.
