Nurpur, December 17

The New Pension Scheme (NPS) Retired Employees’ Association has demanded the removal of the condition of 10 years government service for eligibility for the old pension scheme (OPS) in the state.

In a statement issued here today, Sanjiv Guleira, state chief of the association, said every employee covered under the NPS should get the OPS benefit. The employee should be entitled to the OPS after joining government service irrespective of the period condition laid down in the Recruitment and Promotion (R&P) rules.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
