The Punjab Government, led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, remains dedicated to supporting ex-servicemen by ensuring their financial security and smooth reintegration into civilian life. Defence Services Welfare Minister Mohinder Bhagat has directed officials to take effective steps to strengthen the Punjab Ex-Servicemen Corporation (PESCO) and broaden job opportunities for ex-servicemen and their families.
Chairing a review meeting at the Punjab Civil Secretariat, Mr. Bhagat evaluated PESCO’s overall performance, financial condition, and staff welfare efforts. The discussions primarily focused on enhancing PESCO’s role in creating long-term employment solutions for former defence personnel.
During the session, Managing Director Major General Harmandeep Singh (Retd.) and General Manager (Security) S.P. Singh provided updates on various ongoing schemes. They also presented a three-month performance report, which included details on security guards’ salary structures, proposals for special category wage revisions, reforms in recruitment processes, and a proposal to increase the re-employment age limit for ex-servicemen to 65 years.
Minister Mohinder Bhagat reaffirmed the State Government’s strong commitment to upholding the honour and welfare of ex-servicemen and their families.
