Assam CM urges Centre to fully implement OROP to the satisfaction of the war heroes

Guwahati, Sept 7 (IBNS) : Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Monday urged the Centre to fully concede to the demands of the war heroes of the armed forces in implementing One Rank One Pension.

In a statement, Gogoi termed the development as shameful and said that the war heroes who fought for the sovereignty and national integrity had to resort to hunger strike.

He also said that it took the Centre for nearly three months to decide on the OROP and that too not to the fullest satisfaction of the war heroes.

Gogoi also deprecated the Centre by saying that the party that came to power after gaining the support of the war heroes took so late to implement its poll promise.

The Assam CM requested the Centre’s special consideration to completely fulfil OROP to the satisfaction of the war veterans.
