For the first time, the Indian Army has allowed Colonel-level rank for women officers in “support arms” of the force.
Tribune News Service
New Delhi, August 23
For the first time, the Indian Army has allowed Colonel-level rank for women officers in “support arms” of the force.
This is the first time that women officers serving with the Corps of Signals, Corps of Electronic and Mechanical Engineers (EME) and the Corps of Engineers have been approved to the rank of Colonel.
A selection board of the Indian Army cleared the way for the promotion of five women officers to Colonel (Time Scale) rank, post completion of 26 years of service.
The five women officers selected for Colonel (Time Scale) rank are Lt Col Sangeeta Sardana from the Corps of Signals, Lt Col Sonia Anand and Lt Col Navneet Duggal from the Corps of EME and Lt Col Reenu Khanna and Lt Col Ritcha Sagar from the Corps of Engineers.
Previously, promotion to the rank of Colonel was only applicable for women officers in the Army Medical Corps, Judge Advocate General and the Army Education Corps.
The widening of promotion avenues to more branches of the Indian Army is a sign of increasing career opportunities for women officers combined with the decision to grant permanent commission to women officers from a majority of branches of the Indian Army.
Gissar Military Aerodrome — India’s first overseas base that came to the rescue in Afghan crisis
New Delhi: Gissar Military Aerodrome (GMA), India’s first overseas base operated along with Tajikistan and aimed at giving a strategic heft to their military operations and training, has come in handy in India’s effort to evacuate hundreds of its citizens and Afghans from Kabul, overrun by the Taliban since last Sunday.
The GMA, popularly known as the Ayni airbase named after the village Ayni, is just west of the Tajik capital Dushanbe. It has been administered by India along with Tajikistan for nearly two decades, sources in the defence and security establishment told ThePrint.
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and former Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal B.S. Dhanoa had a key role in setting up the base, which was funded by the Ministry of External Affairs, sources said.
Though outside the public eye, the base has come under the spotlight because of the ongoing evacuation process from Afghanistan during which C-17 and C-130 J transport aircraft of the Indian Air Force besides an Air India aircraft have used the Tajikistan airbase, reported ANI.
This is a modal window.The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
Similarly, when India evacuated its embassy staff from Kabul along with stranded Indians on August 17, the C 17 was waiting at the GMA for clearance from the Americans to fly in and evacuate them. This was because the aircraft could not remain at the Kabul airport since it would have taken up the already scarce place on the tarmac, sources said.
The GMA is often confused with another Farkhor base. Farkhor in southern Tajikistan — near the border with northern Afghanistan — is a city where India ran a hospital in the 1990s.
It is at the same hospital that the powerful Afghan Tajik guerrilla leader, the late Ahmed Shah Masood of the Northern Alliance — which fought the Soviets and later the Taliban — was brought in for treatment after a suicide bomber blew himself up near him in 2001. However, the military doctors at the hospital could not save him despite all efforts.
Following the 9/11 strikes, the hospital ceased operations, sources said. India runs a still functional 50-bed hospital for Tajik military personnel at Qurgan Teppa in southern Tajikistan.
It was around 2001-2002 that “radical thinkers” in the MEA and security establishment came up with the idea of developing the dilapidated GMA in Ayni, a project which was strongly backed by former defence minister the late George Fernandes, sources said.
The IAF appointed then Group Captain Naseem Akhtar (Retd) to begin the work on the airbase. Akhtar, who retired as Air Commodore, was followed by another officer during whose tenure the private contractor engaged by the Indian government went back on his obligations which then led to a legal suit.
The Indian government also roped in the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) team which was led by a Brigadier. At that point in time, there were around 200 Indians working on the project and the airstrip at Gissar was extended to 3,200 metres — long enough for most fixed-wing aircraft to land and take-off.
Besides this, the Indian team also developed hangars, overhauling and the refuelling capacity of aircraft. It is estimated that India spent close to USD 100 million developing the GMA.
Air Chief Marshal Dhanoa was appointed the first Base Commander of an ‘operational’ GMA around the end of 2005 when he was a Group Captain.
However, it was only under the Narendra Modi government that India undertook the first international deployment of fighters — Su 30MKI — to the GMA on a temporary basis, sources said.
The strategic idea behind the GMA
Sources said that the GMA gives a lot of strategic heft to the Indian military. Tajikistan shares borders with China and Pakistan. It adjoins Afghanistan’s Wakhan Corridor, a narrow strip of land that shares a boundary with PoK and China.
With Tajikistan just about 20 km from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir across the corridor, having the ability to operate from Tajikistan gives a lot of options to military planners.
IAF fighters can target Peshawar from Tajikistan, which puts additional pressure on the resources of Pakistan, sources said.
At a time of war, this means that Pakistan will have to move its assets from its Eastern borders to the Western which weakens its direct front with India.
Another big advantage of having a foothold in Tajikistan is that it opens up different routes into Afghanistan, bypassing Pakistan.
However, some within the defence and security establishment, argue that India has never been able to fully utilise the GMA or the investments made. Other such joint collaborative efforts with other countries, too, have not fully taken off over the years, they said.

Kolkata: India should not get militarily involved in Afghanistan, former IAF chief Arup Raha said on Monday, warning that China and Pakistan will burn their fingers by cosying up to the Taliban.
The former Indian Air Force (IAF) air chief marshal said that the Taliban policy of China and Pakistan will backfire on them as a result of their “dishonest purposes” for getting involved in Afghanistan.https://8a1a64bfaddec4bca32c425539d9b29d.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html
“I don’t think India should put the boots on the ground there and get into trouble. Military involvement in Afghanistan is dangerous, and India should not be a part of any such future move of the Americans or NATO forces,” Raha told PTI in an interview.
Reminding the adage about Afghanistan that it is the “Graveyard of Empires”, the former IAF chief said that the United States of America (USA) had lost more than 2,000 troops in the country between 2001 and 2021.
Raha, who led the IAF from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2016, said that with the USA having vacated strategically important Afghanistan, which shares borders with several central Asian nations, countries like China, Pakistan and even Russia feel that they will “have a nice time” in the region.
“There is no possibility of that happening as the Taliban is not going to listen to any of them. China is trying to appease them by offering them money in the name of development,” Raha, a former chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee of the three wings of the Indian Armed Forces, asserted.
He said that the Chinese are wary of the possibility of the Taliban getting involved in Xinjiang province and infiltrate its Jihadi culture there, where the communist country has allegedly “mistreated the Uyghur Muslims and suppressed and oppressed them”.
“Within two to five years, China will feel the heat of Jihadi movement in Xinjiang, which shares its borders with Afghanistan. China will face huge trouble; they already have problems in Tibet, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. They will have their hands full. In two to five years, there will be utter chaos as far as the Taliban is concerned,” he said.
Dismissing the Taliban leadership’s claims that they have changed and are a softer version of their previous self, Raha said they are “barbaric and will do what they have been taught to”.
Soon after the blitzkrieg takeover of Kabul by the Taliban following the exit of US forces, China was among the first countries to say that it stands ready to develop good neighbourly, friendly and cooperative relations with Afghanistan.
A Taliban delegation, led by the chief of its Political Commission Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, which visited China last month during its talks with the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, had promised not to permit the Uyghur Muslim militant group from Xinjiang, the East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), to operate from Afghanistan.https://8a1a64bfaddec4bca32c425539d9b29d.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html
Within hours of Kabul’s fall on August 15, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said the Afghan people had “broken the shackles of slavery”.
Raha said that with organisations like the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan being active in the country, the establishment in Islamabad is likely to face a challenge if the Taliban consolidates in Afghanistan.
He said that the Afghan people have good strength and weaponry but are not ready to fight back against the Taliban.
“I don’t think outsiders should get involved too much, let the Afghans fight for their freedom and decide what they want to do and how they want to live,” he said.
Questioning why the western world should decide their way of life, Raha said it is not right and claimed that the West got involved in Afghanistan for their own interest, including business, industry, and the powerful arms lobby in the USA.

The navies of India and the Philippines carried out a maritime partnership exercise in the West Philippine Sea on Monday.
INS Ranvijay (Guided Missile Destroyer, D55) and INS Kora (Guided Missile Corvette, P61) carried out the maritime exercise with BRP Antonio Luna (Frigate, FF 151) of the Philippine Navy.
The joint evolutions conducted during the exercise included several operational manoeuvers and the participating ships of both navies were satisfied with the consolidation of interoperability achieved through this exercise.
INS Ranvijay and INS Kora are currently deployed to the Western Pacific with an aim to strengthen maritime security collaboration with partner nations.
In compliance with the prevailing pandemic guidelines, the exercise was conducted in a contactless manner. After the exercise, the Indian naval ships are scheduled to call at Manila Port for replenishment.
Islamabad has done everything in its power to keep New Delhi on the fringes in Afghanistan, persuading Americans to keep India out. President Ghani initially placed India at the outermost circle of his policy of concentric circles as per the power they wielded. Similarly, Russia, at Pakistan’s behest, ensured India was excluded from the Moscow-led extended Troika of China, the US and Pakistan by saying that New Delhi could not influence the Taliban.

The reconquest of Afghanistan is sweet comfort for the Taliban following their military defeat in 2001. For the Taliban, who had famously said: ‘While Americans have the watches, we have the time’, things have come full circle.
Pakistan’s contribution to its return to power is of no small amount. This is bound to fuel hostile relations between India and Pakistan, already at a low due to India’s reading down of Article 370. Pakistan has tried to keep Afghanistan out of bounds for India.
In 2007, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao negotiated with her Pakistani counterpart Riaz Khan the inclusion of Afghanistan as the ninth item in the composite dialogue, but the Pakistan Army never let it be implemented, saying that “it would legitimise India’s role in Afghanistan.
Islamabad has done everything in its power to keep New Delhi on the fringes in Afghanistan, persuading Americans to keep India out. President Ghani initially placed India at the outermost circle of his policy of concentric circles as per the power they wielded. Similarly, Russia, at Pakistan’s behest, ensured India was excluded from the Moscow-led extended troika of China, the US and Pakistan by saying that New Delhi could not influence the Taliban.
Lately, though, the External Affairs Ministry spokesperson has begun describing India as Afghanistan’s ‘neighbour’, but now it is an outlier.
Crisis-prone India-Pakistan relations have witnessed several interventions by the US, the USSR and the UK. To avoid third-party mediation and following the Simla Agreement, India and Pakistan opened up a backchannel initially between diplomats and later institutionalised between the NSAs. It was the Satinder Lambah-Tariq Aziz backchannel from 2004-07 that produced the four-point formula on Kashmir which was the closest the two countries have reached in resolving the dispute. Pakistan has not always had an NSA after Maj Gen Mohamad Durrani was sacked for identifying one of the terrorists in the Mumbai attack. Sartaj Aziz was appointed NSA in 2013-15, followed by two retired generals — Janjua and Lodhi — with diplomat Haroon briefly in between.
The backchannel has also witnessed variations: direct talks between the ISI and R&AW; between the ISI and the NSA. It is believed that NSA Ajit Doval met Pakistan Army Chief General Bajwa in London last year following his presentation at the Islamabad security dialogue where he mentioned the shift from geo-politics to geo-economics and urged India to bury the past. The UAE Ambassador to the US, Yousef al Otarba, admitted that it was mediating — what he meant was facilitating — between India and Pakistan for a healthy and functional relationship. Doval and ISI’s Lt Gen Faiz Hameed negotiated the February 25 ceasefire agreement in Dubai.https://6b2339dee35756c0bbc2adfc31966010.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html
Whenever there is any blip of optimism in bilateral relations, it is usually due to the backchannel. Pakistan’s youthful and loquacious NSA Moeed Yusuf confirmed publicly that India had sought the backchannel which sired the ceasefire. This is highly plausible, given India’s intent to defuse the two-front situation after PLA intrusions along the LAC. Adrian Levy and Cathy Scott Clark, co-authors of the Spy Stories-Inside Secret World of RAW and ISI, confirm that the backchannel was operational before 2018-19.
India did not believe the ISI when it told New Delhi that it was not responsible for the Pulwama attack and went on to bomb Balakot. It was the Jaish-e-Mohammad which carried out Pulwama, Pathankot and Uri strikes earlier as the Lashkar-e-Taiba was lying low after Hafeez Saeed was put under house arrest. For some time, the authors acted as a conduit of operational intelligence exchange between the two sides. They claim they had unprecedented access to top intelligence actors of both countries.
Success via the backchannel has encouraged bonhomie. Prime Minister Modi wished Imran Khan on his country’s national day, followed by ‘get well’ wishes after he contracted Covid-19. Khan told Modi that he looked forward to a result-oriented dialogue.
The high point resulting from the backchannel was Pakistan agreeing to buy from India cotton and sugar in April 2021. Not surprisingly, the plan got scuttled on the pretext that it had not been cleared by the Cabinet. This mirrors Pakistan’s power purchase agreement in 2013-14 cancelled for similar reasons — read the military. Apparently, the generals do not buy Bajwa’s bury-the-past idea and wish to keep relations on the simmer.
The sticking point for normalising relations is Article 370 over which Pakistan has tied itself in knots. Both countries have assimilated, through legislation and map-making, the parts of J&K they hold. Pakistan occupies 15 per cent of J&K, of which 85 per cent is Gilgit-Baltistan, formerly the Northern Areas. It has made the strategic Gilgit-Baltistan almost the fifth province of Pakistan (provisional provincial status) and integrated it with the Centre.
India stirred the hornet’s nest over the inclusion of Aksai Chin in the new map, inviting PLA encroachment across the LAC in East Ladakh. In addition, Pakistan is accusing R&AW of terrorist attacks in Lahore (near Hafiz Saeed’s residence) and in Baluchistan against a bus-load of Chinese. Further, the ISI has substituted drones for human infiltration across the LoC. Still, the Indus Waters Treaty Commission met after three years and India has given sports visas for Pakistani cricketers.https://6b2339dee35756c0bbc2adfc31966010.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html
On Kashmir, China has said: ‘It is a dispute left over by history which has to be resolved peacefully through the UN Charter, Security Council resolutions and bilateral agreements.’ UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in 2019 recalled the 1972 agreement on the bilateral agreement between India and Pakistan — the Simla Agreement — which states that the final agreement on Jammu and Kashmir’s status has to be settled by peaceful means in accordance with the charter of the United Nations.
Obviously, Kashmir is not India’s internal matter. The blow hot, blow cold India-Pakistan relations await normalisation: restoration of full diplomatic relations, including the return of ambassadors and full staff, resumption of trade across Wagah and the LoC and the revival of the comprehensive bilateral dialogue started in 2015.
Pakistan’s insistence that India reverse its constitutional alterations in J&K before any dialogue on normalisation only adds to the complexity of India’s conditionality that talks and terror do not go together. The intrepid backchannel must create conditions for an unconditional dialogue, without prejudice to each other’s positions.
IT was at the fag end of a press conference by US President Joe Biden that the White House’s narrative about the unexpected collapse of the Afghan army having caught the Americans unawares came apart. In the process, the US may have put at risk the lives of over 10,000 of its citizens and loyal Afghans, besides nationals of other countries, including India. Replying to a question on whether the US will be able to get all its citizens out of Afghanistan, Biden said, ‘We’ve been in constant contact with the Taliban leadership on the ground.’ It was then that an unscripted question rang out: ‘Why do you continue to trust the Taliban, Mr President?’ Biden turned his back to the podium and did not reply.
The US had sounded the death knell for the democratically elected Afghan government after the Doha talks with the Taliban. The Kabul dispensation, on life support from the West, was made to look further emasculated by the Americans biting the ISI bait of an engagement with the Taliban. For all the satellites in the sky and watchers on the ground, including militias run by the CIA, the Americans seemed to have no inkling of the collapse of the will of the Afghan army or the setting up of well-oiled supply lines from Pakistan that sustained the Taliban advance.
There are conspiracy theories about how the Americans had actually willed a Taliban takeover, which is why the Afghan army folded up the way it did. The truth may never be revealed. But what is known is that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had to thank, at the last count, a dozen countries, including bête noire China, for the safe transit of Americans and other foreign nationals. Meanwhile, the Taliban are dismantling abandoned US military equipment and transporting it to Pakistan, undoubtedly for onward transmission to China. The US has not just hurt itself by accepting the assurances from the Taliban and the ISI; it has ruined the results of assiduous developmental work by countries such as India, besides leaving their citizens in Afghanistan in peril.
Within two days of the Taliban’s capture of the Afghan capital, New Delhi had evacuated around 200 people, including the Ambassador and other embassy staffers. File photo
There are disconcerting reports that hundreds of Indians are still stuck in Afghanistan, more than a week after the Taliban seized control of Kabul on August 15. These include workers who had been deployed at the sites of various projects in the war-torn country. Within two days of the Taliban’s capture of the Afghan capital, New Delhi had evacuated around 200 people, including the Ambassador and other embassy staffers. The first evacuation flight brought back over 40 people on August 16, followed by 150 others a day later. The Indian government seems to have thought and acted uni-dimensionally by closing the embassy and airlifting the diplomats and other officials right away.
Though the government has been reiterating that the evacuation of all Indians from Afghanistan is its top priority, some bottlenecks impeding the process have not been removed. Many Indian workers have found themselves stranded as they are not in possession of their passports – these had been deposited with their employers, who fled for their lives as the Taliban made rapid inroads into the cities. Documentation or lack of it should not be a decisive factor when the safety of citizens is at stake, especially when no embassy staffers are around to provide assistance.
The Centre needs to consider its options sooner than later in the interests of these citizens. Such moves would necessitate keeping all channels of communication open with the Taliban. India has pumped over $3 billion into Afghanistan in the past two decades, including investments in over 400 infrastructure projects across the country. With a Taliban-led government set to take shape, India should go all out to protect its strategic interests and build on the development initiatives undertaken in healthcare, education and other sectors. The strength of the bilateral ties can be gauged from the fact that Afghanistan’s new parliament building was raised with funds disbursed by India. All the good work and the consequent goodwill must not go down the drain. Certain Indian presence in Kabul is a prerequisite for engaging constructively with the new rulers.

Chandigarh, August 23
The Army has created a makeshift floating platform in the Ranjit Sagar Reservoir for conducting diving operations to search for the body of one of the pilots who was onboard the Rudra helicopter that had crashed into the reservoir on August 3.
The search operations are being spearheaded by a Commodore rank officer from the Indian Navy who is expert in maritime rescue operations, along with an Indian Army Brigadier having expertise in civil engineering aspects, according to a statement issued by the Army today.
In addition, search operations are being monitored round the clock with General Officer Commanding, 29 Infantry Division and General Officer Commanding 9 Corps making regular visits to the crash site so that same continue to be executed at a war footing.
A “whole of nation approach” has been adopted by the armed forces by employing best of the equipment available in the country to locate the wreckage. This includes remotely operated underwater vehicles, handheld navigation system with sonar, side scanner sonar with echo sensor and portable transducer, divers propulsion vehicle, multi beam sonar and submarine rescue unit of the Navy.
In addition, Special Forces commandos along with Marine Commandos of the Navy are carrying out continuous diving in the areas being identified through the technical means.
Various agencies like National Disaster Relief Force, civilians experts and dam authorities have also been incorporated in the search operations.
The Indian Navy has been constantly upscaling and upgrading the equipment being used for this search and salvage operation. The challenge of operating remotely controlled equipment at a depth where human intervention is not feasible and where the visibility is no more than few inches are being handled by incorporating multi beam sonars.
A Lieutenant Colonel and a Captain of the Army Aviation Corps were onboard the ill-fated aircraft. The body of the Lieutenant Colonel had been retrieved on August 15.
