Several war veterans have returned their medals as part of their protest against “diluted” OROP.

He said his government was the first to have set up a committee along with the OROP notification to make the scheme “foolproof.” Modi also said that he wanted to see his “dream” of OROP implementation in a meaningful manner. For the second successive year, Modi celebrated Diwali with troops. Modi paid surprise visits to three military installations close to the Indo-Pak border – the Dograi War Memorial in Khasa, Asal Uttar Memorial near Valtoha and Barki War Memorial in Ferozepur district in Punjab, and interacted with the troops.
