Dear Comrades,
On behalf of the Odisha State Committee of the Forum of Civil Pensioners’ Association and NCCPA, and as its President, I extend my heartfelt and revolutionary thanks to all the pensioners who participated in today’s dharna-cum-demonstration at the premises of Bhubaneswar GPO/CTO. Your presence, despite the biting cold and advancing age—many of you being above 80 years—stands as a powerful testimony to your unwavering commitment to justice and dignity.
This programme was organized to oppose the validation of the CCA (Pension) Rules, which strikes at the settled and legitimate rights of pensioners, and to demand a fair modification of the Terms of Reference of the 8th Central Pay Commission, which in its present form undermines the principles of parity, social security, and honourable retirement for both employees and pensioners. These measures, if left uncorrected, will deepen economic insecurity and institutional neglect.
Your collective protest, echoed simultaneously in Cuttack, Balasore, and other parts of Odisha, has transformed this second phase of our agitational programme into a resounding message to the Central Government: pensioners are not silent spectators to injustice. I salute your courage, discipline, and unity, and assure you that this struggle will continue with renewed strength until our legitimate demands are addressed.
Revolutionary greetings to all.

President
FCPA, Odisha State Committee
