Strike in Ordnance Factories

The trade unions have raised a number of demands. Most of the demands are common with other departments of the Government of India. However, there are certain demands specific to the ordnance factories such as payment of time wages to the piece workers, grant of 30 days Earned Leave to Industrial Workers who have opted Leave under the Factories Act, 1948, co-relation of piece work rates in the revised 6th Central Pay Commission (CPC) pay scales etc.

CSD Canteen facilities for working and retired personnel of CAPF

Whether the Government has received any request for providing Canteen Store Department (CSD) facilities to the working and retired personnel of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF)..!

The Minister of Home Affairs Shri.R.P.N.Singh has replied to the question in a written form in Lok Sabha on 19th March, 2013 as follows…

"Accordingly a proposal to extend the Canteen Stores Department (CSD) facility to the CAPFs personnel, including serving and retired personnel, was duly considered in consultation with the Ministry of Defence, but it could not be agreed to because of the limited resource and infrastructure of the CSD.

On the lines of CSD, the Government has launched a Central Police Canteen System on 18/09/2006 for the CAPFs personnel, including the retired CAPFs personnel and their families. As on date 126 Master Canteens and 1009 unit Central Police Canteens are functioning throughout the country , including Rajasthan.
