Being the old war attended Jawans of Indian Army where received very very less pay at that time as per the present Army Jawans by the grace of Modi Govt. we request your highness to increase the OROP pension in the factor of 3.68 instead 2.57. And expecting the order before the coming Election.
Please consider the old soldiers who attended 1962.,.1965 and 1971 Wars. Our living ex-soldiers number is very less.. Kindly consider?
