It is very happy to note that the GOI/Dop&T and the DoP&PW are making out good Orders for the Pre-2006 pensioners and family pensioners; and also to the C.G.employees, retired employees.
But it is seen that some of the Ministry/Department/ like the RPF are not implementing the GOI OMs in true spirit and scrupulously as contained in the GOI/DoP&T OM– as for example—– The Railway Board, DG, RPF, did not follow the Orders/Directions issued by GOI/ DoP&T OM. No. 22011/4/98-Estt. (D) Dated 12-10-1998.I pray to look into this matter as seriously as possible like that of RPF–marking-Ysho Labhaswa….
I am struggling since arond 8 years— Ye HOslokan Udan Hai.
