OROP: Veterans welcome govt decision, withdraw hunger strike

Welcoming the government's decision to implement OROP, agitating ex-servicemen on Sunday announced withdrawal of their hunger strike but decided to continue their protest till all the "sticky" issues are resolved.

The ex-servicemen said revision of pension after a gap of five years as announced by the government is not at all acceptable to them, besides appointment of a one-man judicial commission to examine various aspects of one rank-one pension (OROP).
