GUWAHATI: The ruling and the opposition benches in the Assam Legislative Assembly had a hot debate today on the issue of the pension system to be followed for state government employees.

While the opposition MLAs raised the demand for the restoration of the OPS (Old Pension System), Parliament Affairs Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary informed the House that the government would not restore the OPS. “The government will either implement the NPS (National Pension System) or the UPS (United Pension System),” he said.
