OREANDA-NEWS.Construction of roads in the border States of the country, funded under the Central Government schemes are undertaken by various agencies including Border Roads Organisation (BRO). BRO consists of Army as well as civilian personnel.

The GREF civilian personnel are subjected to Central Civil Service Regulations for regulating their retirement, pension, etc. Hence, as in the case of other Central Government civilian employees, presently, the superannuation age of GREF civilian personnel is 60 years. On the other hand, the Armed Forces personnel retire at an earlier age and therefore are extended benefits for re-employment.

This information was given by Defence Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar in a written reply to Shrimati Neelam Sonkar in Lok Sabha today.
