‘Flag march’ by Punjab govt employees demanding restoration of OPS in bypoll-bound Ludhiana West
Indian Chronicle
|June 18, 2025
Government employees from over 50 departments in Punjab are planning a large protest called a “flag march” in bypoll-bound Ludhiana West on Thursday, June 12.
The protest, organised by the Purani Pension Bahali Sangharsh Committee (PPBSC) and the Central Provident Fund Employees Union (CPFEU), aims to demand the restoration of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) for more than 2 lakh employees recruited after the implementation of the National Pension Scheme (NPS), popularly known as new pension schme, on January 1, 2004. Organisers accuse the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab of failing to fulfil its pre-election promise to restore OPS within six months of taking office. They express frustration over government spending on advertising while neglecting employee issues. The protest is expected to include vehicle mobilisation and distribution of educational posters to raise awareness among voters ahead of the Ludhiana West Assembly bypoll on June 19.
