6.       President then proceeded with the remaining agenda points.

Confirmation of Minutes of the AGM held on 25 NOV 2018.

7.      The salient points of the  AGM held on 25 Nov 2018 were read out to the members by Secretary Col Rajiv Kakra. There being no observation, the minutes were passed duly proposed by Lt Col AK Gupta (M. No. 869) and seconded by Brig Kartar Singh (M. No. 3653).

AGENDA POINT NO. 4
Progress of Court Cases

9.      President briefed the members on the progress of the ongoing court cases.

AGENDA POINT NO. 5
Points from Members

10.   Following points were received from members:-
 (a)   2563  Major RP Sehgal          The matter should be taken up with appropriate   authorities that all Majors with 13 years or  more service and retired pre 1996, should be given the  pension of the rank of Lt Col.
                                                     OR
         Let your legal expert advise me the course of action at my end.
Decision

               We will wait for the outcome of pre 1996 retirees (Maj and equivalent getting pension of Lt Col) case pending in The Hon’ble Supreme Court before deciding the future course of action.

(b)    1813  Col Rakesh Sachdeva    Non Functional Financial Updrade has           been sanctioned by the Government  of India for all paramilitary and police forces. Not granting NFU to Military  Personnel will be discriminating and a  factor which will affect the izzat and morale of the  defence forces personnel. RDOA should take up this issue strongly in a manner deemed fit by the General Body of the RDOA. 

Decision

               Matter is in Supreme Court and at concluding stage.  Final outcome is expected after the Constitutional Bench finishes with the hearing of Ramjanam Bhumi case. Let us  wait and hope for the favourable  judgement of Hon’ble Supreme Court.
                                                         
(c)     2456 Major Raghbir Singh    I would like to inform that there was great  injustice done to Major’s rank as No major was superannuated in the year 2013 and live data was taken  from a Major premature retiree who has done 22  years of service and a part D casualty. Pension Sanctioning authority had taken his   last pension as bench mark for all Major who even having more qualifying  i.e till 33 years. We have approached various authorities i.e CGDA, PCDA and DESW  but no body is ready to listen to our  grievances. My point is RDOA should take up our issue with appropriate authority so that we can get justice. Now 2nd revision is in pipe line so  our concern also be heard before  revision.

Decision

Major Raghbir Singh who was present in the meeting was  advised  that affected officers have to approach AFT individually. As an association we can not approach AFT. Affected officers should approach AFT. We will extend necessary help thereafter.


AGENDA POINT NO.  6
Any other Point with the Permission of the Chair

11.    Gp Capt BM Karir (M.No. ) said In ECHS most of medicines are NA as also the procedure for referral is cumbersome. The same should be simplified as on the lines of CGHS.

Decision

As per the information available Funds have now been allotted to ECHS and medicines are available. However RDOA  will be take up the matter  with MD, ECHS to resolve the issue.

There were no further points from the members.

AGENDA POINT NO. 7

        (M.No. 3739) and seconded by Col DM Bahl (M. No. 2482). Most of the members got themselves examined by a team of Medicos (from Jeevan Sudharo Welfare Society) part of free Health Camp.
