As ex-servicemen entered the 12th day of indefinite hunger strike over the One Rank One Pension (OROP) issue, two retired military officers were rushed to the army hospital after their health deteriorated today.
Another protester, Col Pushpendra Singh, was taken to hospital two days ago after his medical report showed increased levels of ketone, which is toxic for the body.
This is the fourth such case since the protest escalated on independence day. As talks between the government failed to make any progress, the ex-army men remained firm with their demands.
However, government sources say OROP will implemented tomorrow.
