The Nagaland National Pension System Government Service Employees Forum (NNPSGSEF) on Tuesday organised a car rally in Kohima to press for the restoration of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS).

The rally began at Indira Gandhi Stadium and concluded at the Civil Secretariat, featuring a car sticker campaign as part of the demonstration.

NNPSGSEF President Avizo Nienu said the demand for OPS aims to secure the future of Nagaland’s citizens, while Vice-President Jentinochet clarified that the campaign is not directed against the government but the existing market-linked pension system.

At the end of the rally, the forum submitted a representation to the Chief Secretary, urging the government to reinstate the Old Pension Scheme for state employees appointed after January 1, 2010.
