Ex-servicemen demand corporation, more job quota
The Hindu
Their main demands included constitution of a separate corporation for the welfare of ex-servicemen, enhancement of reservation from 2% to 10% on a par with other States and sanction of white ration cards
Members of the Maji Sainikula Samkshema Samithi in the State on Saturday staged a ‘satyagraha’ at Dharna Chowk seeking immediate measures to address their long-pending demands.
Their main demands included constitution of a separate corporation for the welfare of ex-servicemen, enhancement of reservation from 2% to 10% on a par with other States and sanction of white ration cards.
They sought amendment to the AP Subordinate rules as per G.O. 57 issued in March 2001, dealing with the eligibility for securing jobs by ex-servicemen and constitution of a Rajya Sainik Board with efficient ex-servicemen as its representatives to review policies at regular intervals.
