Ex-servicemen protesting for the implementation of the One Rank, One Pension (OROP) scheme will organise a 'Gaurav Rally' on Saturday to decide their future course of action.

Preparations for the rally are underway at Jantar Mantar.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had earlier announced that the government has decided to implement the much awaited OROP scheme and its benefit would be given to all ex-servicemen, excluding voluntary retirees, from July 1, 2014.
