The All Assam Government NPS Employees’ Association (AAGNPSEA) has called for two days strike in demand to restore the ‘Old Pension Scheme’ (OPS).
According to the reports, the two days strike will take place in the state on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 22 and 23, 2023 as the National Pension Scheme (NPS) is not benefiting the citizens since it got implemented.
The demands are cancellation of the National Pension Scheme (NPS) and restoration of Old Pension Scheme (OPS) in the state, Assam.
AAGNPSEA President Achyutananda Hazarika said, “The NPS was implemented in the state in 2005. We have been protesting this pension system. Just like the other states, the Assam government should restore the OPS. But the government hasn’t responded to our demand. Government employees have been complaining that the NPS has not been working for their benefit and demanding the restoration of the OPS so that they can lead a secured retired life.”
