OROP : Important Development

Three Cheers to Major Navdeep Singh
1.       I wanted to share an important development with you.
2.       The Prime Minister and the Raksha Mantri have been concerned about massive litigation and grievances in service and pensioners matters involving the Ministry of Defence. It was also felt that Ministries and Departments should be concentrating on core issues of governance rather than being overwhelmed by such litigation. Excessive court cases and grievances on various policies vitiate the environment, something which is highly avoidable and not in national interest. The discontentment in the last few years on this subject is well known.
3.       In order to ensure holistic resolution and a permanent solution of the issue and to recommend practical ways and means of having an effective mechanism in place so that genuine grievances are resolved in an environment of mutual trust and faith at the lowest possible level, and keeping in view the PM’s vision and directions, for the first time in history the Raksha Mantri has directed the constitution of a Short-term Commission / Committee of Experts who shall examine all related matters to find workable solution(s) to such issues.
4.       It gives me contentment in also informing you that I and Maj DP Singh (https://www.facebook.com/MajorDPSingh) have been tasked by the Raksha Mantri to be Members of this body consisting of a total of Five persons.
5.       I assure everyone that we shall undertake this task objectively, transparently, without fear or favour; neutrally with all sensitivity, and most importantly, swiftly and in all probability within a period of two months.
6.       We thank the PM and the RM for taking this progressive and landmark step and reassure them that we would not let them down.
7.       Just to clarify, this body has no link whatsoever with OROP.
Thanks.
Jai Hind.
Maj Navdeep Singh.
