V. ANANDARAJAN, Jt. Secy.
Sir,
happy that some organisation like MNS group is more beneficial in comparison to the MSP paid to the defence forces personnel . This is because of the no of MNS to the no of soldiers and Doctors of defence services. However the service, behaviour, treatment and attitude of these MNS especially senior lot is in worst most condition. They are playing with the life of soldiers and their dependents even if reluctant to give an injection also. I personally have faced this problem while admitted in a command hospital.Hence these MNS employees should be tought to take their responsibilities.
Sir, It is correct but to whom poor Jawans will tell they can not do anything. Officesr only fighting for their self but not for the jawans. No one is there who will look for the poor jawans. I am fully agreed with the words said by the Chairman please
Armed Forces Personnel ( specially Below Officers Ranks i.e PBORs) are the lowest paid employees in the country since independence . The Govt of the times have always neglected these poor and unfortunate soldiers who have no say and hence they are the lowest paid employees despite the fact that they are on duty for 24 hours. The fruits of the independence have been enjoyed by the High Ranking Retired Commissioned Officers who are the highest paid employees in the country leaving the lower ranks in lurch . Even the lower ranker are paid minimum allowances as well as the disability element of pension despite the fact having suffered the same disease /injury with same disability and in the same operational areas but there is a vast gap and difference in the grant of Disability element of pension which is discriminatory and arbitrary . Nothing come out now from the seventh pay commission for these poor soldiers and their families . The medial , politicians and those who are holding the Constitutional Posts they are worried about their own welfare and not the welfare of the poor jawans who are guarding the frontiers and as well as the internal disturbance .
