Ex-Servicemen today intensified their protest on the One Rank, One Pension, OROP scheme. The veterans tried to march towards Rashtrapati Bhavan but were stopped in the mid-way.
Two army veterans who were sitting on a hunger strike also tried to burn their medals in protest against the scheme announced by the government.
During the day, veterans gathered at Jantar Mantar and decided to meet the President for his intervention into the matter.
The protesters demanded that government should resolve the issue at the earliest and expressed their desire to have a dialogue with the government.
