Uri attack: 17 soldiers martyred, 24 injured. We’ve had enough!

In one of the deadliest attacks ever on the Indian Army, 17 soldiers were killed and 24 others injured after four heavily-armed suicide attackers stormed into the Army’s administrative base in Uri on Sunday.The attack has further heightened the tension between India and Pakistan and also across the Kashmir Valley. The Uri base in Baramulla district is located close to the Line of Control. This is the highest casualty the Indian Army has suffered in a single attack in the last several years.

All the four suicide attackers, hailing from Pakistan, were killed in the ensuing gunbattle that lasted close to four hours. Search operations are continuing to ensure there are no more terrorists lurking in the area. An unmanned aerial vehicle has been pressed into service for this purpose.

According to preliminary reports, the attackers belong to the Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM). The same group was responsible for the Pathankot air base attack in January this year.

The attack comes ahead of Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s visit to New York to attend the UN General Assembly. Sharif is expected to raise the Kashmir unrest issue at the meeting. Responding to the attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the attackers would not be spared. Home Minister Rajnath Singh rushed to Srinagar on Sunday to review the situation.

At around 5:30 am, heavily-armed militants entered into the rear base camp of an infantry battalion while most of the Army personnel were asleep. They launched an attack which resulted in a fire. Several tents caught fire. A majority of the soldiers, who were sleeping, were trapped in the fire and died due to burns.

The terrorists were then challenged by the Army personnel. An hour later, special forces of the Army took control of the operations and eliminated all the four terrorists. A large number of weapons with Pakistani markings, including four AK 47 rifles and four Under Barrel Grenade Launchers, were recovered.

“All four attackers were foreigners and belonged to Jaish-e-Muhammed,” Director General of Military Operations Lt Gen Ranveer Singh said. “About 14 of our men died in the fire that broke out in the shelters.” Of the 24 injured, nine are critical.

Though there were credible inputs of militants waiting to sneak over to the Indian side, security agencies are perplexed over how they managed to cross the border. “Lapses will come out once the Army completes its enquiry,” sources said.

They shall not go unpunished: PM Modi

NEW DELHI: The Union government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Pranab Mukherjee, severely condemned the attack in Uri and promised that the prepetators would not go unpunished. “Those behind the despicable attack will not go unpunished,” the Prime Minister said.

“India will not be cowed down by such attacks. We will thwart the evil designs of terrorists and their backers,” President Pranab Mukherjee said.

The Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh held a high-level meeting to review the situation and directed the security forces to launch an all-out offensive against militants in the Valley. “Pakistan is a terrorist State. It should be identified and isolated as such. I am disappointed with Pakistan’s continued support for terrorism,” he said.

Rajnath also postponed his visit to Russia and the US in the wake of the attack and continuing unrest in Kashmir.


Bureaucrats Hold Military to Ransom, Service Chiefs Must Empower Soldiers

LT GENERAL P.C.KATOCH

Tuesday, September 13,2016

NEW DELHI: The military holds Pakistan to ransom but India is held ransom by the bureaucracy, indispensable to politicians no matter how unprofessional and unaccountable.

This is particularly relevant to the Ministry of Defence where a systematic degradation of military has been effected through past decades.

The Koshiyari Committee on One Rank One Pension (OROP) had lambasted the government for total “Bureaucratic Apathy” against military veterans. Yet this apathy is growing, a recent example being the military’s recommendations for the 7th Central Pay Commission being blocked at the defence secretary level.

The Armed Forces have rejected the salary and emoluments recommended by the 7th CPC on grounds that its implementation be put on hold in view of the “unresolved anomalies” that lowered the status of the forces vis-à-vis their counterparts in the police and the civil administration.

The Government doesn’t seem to realize this is a watershed in civil-military relations and wants to bulldoze their writ with the Defence Minister ordering the military to immediately implement 7th CPC.

Numerous unprecedented occurrences in the recent past have adversely affected rank and file of the military both serving and veterans, some being: one, baton charge on peacefully protesting veterans wearing medals (including gallantry awards) and regimental caps at Jantar Mantar;

two, post the despicable baton charge, representative of Delhi police sent to apologize instead of any MoD official;

three, government sanctioned OROP after 1973 but in half-cock manner despite clear definition given by the Koshiyari Committee that was approved by two Parliaments and defined in MoD communications during 2014, and;

four 7th CPC lowering status of the forces vis-à-vis their counterparts in the police and the civil administration. While no government would do this to its own military, it is for the government to examine how such decisions were taken – whether only due to prejudices or any politicians / bureaucrats are receiving foreign funds to do so, possibility of which is very much exists in asymmetric conflict.

The Service Chiefs sure are facing flak because of the above, particularly for not making any statement against the naked disrespect shown in baton charging veterans, watched by serving soldiers on social media. The Service Chiefs should have told the government what they have done is not good of the nation as it badly hurt the psyche of the military.

But now if the Service Chiefs have officially rejected the 7th CPC, the Modi government must realize that the tipping point has arrived.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar’s Chinese Checkers of ordering the military to implement the pay panel immediately and anomalies will be looked into is the usual cock-and-bull game played for decades.

Has he done anything about the anomalies of the 6th and earlier CPCs? OROP anomalies have been shoved aside with Reddy’s circus touring pan-India. One can count on the Reddy circus being extended into more such circuses organized to look into the anomalies of the 7th CPC till the 8th CPC overtakes it.

The Service Chiefs need to hold steadfast and tell Parrikar bluntly enough is enough, and that pushing the jaundiced recommendations down the throat of the military is adverse to the nation’s security as it affects morale of the military. This is the ‘battle royale’ with the bureaucracy that holds the politicos captive. But the Service Chiefs also need to do something else .

During 2007, army garrisons at Mathura, Allahabad and Kanpur notified civil authorities they would participate in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh State elections. The chain of events that followed included: one, RTIs to concerned MLAs and MPs querying details of help rendered to veterans, serving soldiers families in their areas during last five years and what development funds used to improve infrastructure in cantonments;

two, standing MLA of Mathura met the Station Commander offering Rupees 10 lakhs (with promise of more) requesting orders be issued for military garrison to vote for his party – money was returned and politico told soldiers are free to vote as per individual wishes;

three, at Allahabad, an illegal encroachment on cantonment land had just been removed after proper court order. The woman heading a political party (whose house was ransacked and burnt few years later by opponents) for garnering votes of the evicted rang up the party President in Delhi, who in turn rang up the Defence Minister. HQ Central Command was asked to order an inquiry into the evictions but when army informed the civil authorities they would participate in state elections at Allahabad, the woman in question dropped all and sought when it would be convenient for the Divisional Commander to have a meal with her;

four, a special cell was established in the office of the Deputy Commissioner, Mathura to look into grievances of serving soldiers, veterans and their next-of-kin;

five, political parties sought permission to hold election rallies inside cantonments which was denied but election posters allowed in the ‘civil’ market;

six, army garrisons voted in special booths under election commission set up within cantonments;

seven, MLA who won election from Mathura, came to Station HQ querying how he could assist in improving infrastructure of Mathura cantonment over the next five years. So on and so forth.

One of the reasons that the Koshiyari Committee refused to equate civilian officials with military personnel was because the fundamental rights of soldiers are drastically curbed. But not only the fundamental right to vote of soldier is safe, the Election Commission has authorized every soldier to vote in his place of posting if he has served for one day or more in that place – he can vote both in state and municipal elections.

By not ensuring every soldier exercises his franchise, Service Chiefs are actually curbing the soldier’s right to vote and contravening the Constitution. Hence, Service Chiefs must take conscious decision to ensure:
first, every soldier authorized to vote in forthcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttrakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Goa and all elections beyond must exercise franchise;

second, voter identity cards must be obtained for every soldier on forthwith basis;

third, procuring individual voter cards must be institutionalized by all Regimental Centres for every young soldier on completion of recruit training;

fourth, official liaison with Election Commission for provision of election commission teams in ‘remote areas’ for military personnel – if Election Commission can send teams inside Gir forest for a single voter no reason they cannot send teams down to battalion / equivalent level in remote areas;

fifth, soldiers must participate in respective municipal elections also as authorized to every citizen;

sixth, casting franchise by every soldier should be treated as ‘Command Function’ and any commander down the line not ensuring same should be made answerable and viewed accordingly for promotion, and

seventh, if the news of Army appointing dedicated officers to liaise with veterans is correct, they should liaise with veterans and NOKs of all military (preceded by mutual agreement at Service HQ level) to address grievances and help them procure voter cards, where not made.

The Service Chiefs must acknowledge that this is the ‘only’ method to counter Nehru’s legacy of the military being called in at the drop of a hat and yet treated as a ‘necessary evil’ – that is being diligently followed till-date.

What will likely follow is Government telling the Service Chiefs they will be dismissed if the 7th CPC is not implemented immediately. Intelligence agencies will be deployed simultaneously to blackmail individual Chiefs and create a divide among them.

Need of the hour is to stay steadfast. Let them dismiss the three Chiefs but the next in-line should refuse to fill the vacated slots – the country anyway is headed by bureaucrats. This by no means is insubordination; it actually is loyalty to the nation at the higher plane which the mafia is incapable of comprehending.


Regaining Ladakh: The Zoji La challenge

A 14km tunnel project marred by political controversy has led to a delay in awarding the contract. The victims are the people of the region who get cut off in the winters. Strategically, Zoji-La holds vital importance: on the one hand is Pakistan and on the other, China. Will politicians back off?

It is land-locked. Its high passes are smacked by bone-chilling cold winds, and when it snows, it is a dreadful whiteout, a blinding netherworld at 12,000 ft (3,530 meters). Zoji La is the fourth highest pass in the country. And it’s also a place where India feels being watched — on one hand is China, on the other, Pakistan. Beyond those passes lies Ladakh which remains cut off during winters. In the 30-km stretch from tourist resort of Sonamarg in Kashmir to Gumri near the Zojila Pass, it is the 10-km rocky passage that’s the toughest: there are steep ravines and vertical cliffs, prone to avalanches. Ladakh hasn’t had the comfort of road connectivity despite being a witness to murderous assaults of weather and India’s foes. A political row has denied it the title of South East Asia’s longest tunnel. Its strategic and socio-economic importance has failed to move our political bosses. Nearly two years after Centre’s clearance for the 14.08-km-long tunnel project in 2013, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh this year alleged corruption in Rs 10,050-crore Zojila tunnel contract. He alleged that there had been “violation of the established practices in the tendering procedures” as the contract was awarded to a single bidder. The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, headed by Nitin Gadkari cancelled the contract awarded to IRB Infrastructure Developers and decided to rebid. To avoid further controversy, the Union Ministry has now entrusted the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation (NHIDCL), its fully owned company, with the task of undertaking and completing the tendering process.”We have invited global bids for civil works under the project. The last date for submission bids is September 28. We are hopeful that the tendering process will be over in the next couple of months and work will start soon,” said a NHIDCL official. “Unfortunately, the project has become the victim of politics. Till now, tendering process has not been completed and it is a grave discrimination against the region,” says Mohammad Haneefa Jan, Chief Executive Councillor (CEC) of Kargil Council.P T Kunzang, vice president of Ladakh Buddhist Association (LBA) says once constructed, the tunnel will enable all-weather connectivity from Srinagar to Kargil and Leh. “Ladakhis are keen to see the tunnel becoming a reality.” Srinagar-Kargil-Leh road traverses through two major mountain ranges. It first crosses through great Himalayas at Zoji La and then Zanskar mountain range at Fatula to enter Ladakh. Apart from its tough geography and topography, the mighty Zoji La Pass witnesses a maximum snow of around 5-6 meters every year and the temperature sometimes plummets to minus 28 to minus 25 degree Celsius.The proposed tunnel will pass through Zozila Pass which serves as the gateway to Ladakh region. The tunnel can be constructed in seven years with an estimated cost of Rs 10,050 crores. The project is part of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Rs 80,000-crore development package for J&K. The single tube bi-directional tunnel with a parallel egress tunnel will be built on Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer (DBFOT) annuity basis. The all-weather road connectivity has always remained a major poll campaign issue in the Ladakh region as it severely faces the shortage of essential commodities and goods when the two highways to Ladakh remain closed in winters.

The tunnel facts

  • Length:14.08-km(Sonamarg &Gumri in Kargil)
  • Total cost:Rs 10,050 cr
  • Construction time:7 years

The project

  • The tunnel will be a single tube bi-directional passage with a parallel egress (to serve in emergency).
  • It will be built on design-build-finance-operate-transfer (DBFOT) annuity basis.

Don’t want to see Indo-Pak tensions lead to ‘some incident’: US

Don’t want to see Indo-Pak tensions lead to ‘some incident’: US
Calls for dialogue between the neighbours. Thinkstock

Washington, September 9

The US has called for dialogue between India and Pakistan to de-escalate tensions in security interests of the region, saying it does not want to see “tensions spiral out of control” and lead to “some kind of incident”.“We strongly encourage in all of our dealings with either India and/or Pakistan stronger relations between the two countries. It’s clearly in the security interests of the region that they work to de-escalate tensions and that they have dialogue,” State Department Deputy Spokesperson Mark Toner told reporters at his daily news conference on Thursday.

“That’s something we constantly encourage for just that–or out of just that concern, which is that we don’t want to see tensions escalate, spiral out of control, and lead to some kind of incident,” he said.“It is important for the two countries, the two governments to maintain strong, cordial and productive relations,” Toner said in response to a question seeking his reaction on American senators’ remarks that the US should play the role of a mediator between Pakistan and India.The US, he said, wanted Pakistan to take more action against terrorist network.“Our discussions continue to focus on the fact that we’re urging the Government of Pakistan to take concerted action against safe havens and terrorist groups that threaten other countries in the region and we’ve been very clear about that,” he said.“And we have seen them attempt to address it. We want to see more action taken, but it continues to be a topic of conversation with them,” he added.Toner said America’s relationship with India and Pakistan is not a zero-sum game.“As we’ve said many times, there’s no zero-sum game here. We need to have a very strong and robust relationship with India and we do–the world’s largest democracy. And we also want to have a strong relationship with Pakistan. It’s in the interests of the region to do so,” he said.“The recent India and Bangladesh visit of the Secretary of State (John Kerry) and not going to Pakistan should not be treated otherwise,” Toner said.“It doesn’t clearly indicate anything about our relationship with Pakistan. The Secretary has a very intense travel schedule. He’s been to Pakistan recently; he speaks often to senior Pakistani leadership,” he said.“Specifically, he was in India for the Strategic and Commercial Dialogue and took the opportunity to also visit Bangladesh–I think the first time he’s been there,” he added.

Army Cantt to adopt Vellore model

Neha Saini

Tribune News Service

Amritsar, August 29

The Amritsar Army Cantonment is set to become the first Army Cantonment in the country to adopt the Solid Liquid Resource Management (SLRM) model designed by eco expert and conservationist C Srinivasan. He was in the city to conduct a workshop-cum-training session with volunteers, including the 2,000 families living inside the Cantonment.Initiating the secondary and tertiary garbage management that will include dry and wet waste, along with non-biodegradable waste, cantonment will also create sites for collecting and recycling waste material. Informing about the project, CO, Army Cantt, Amritsar, Dheeraj Sonaje, said, “We were having a problem in disposing of our garbage as there was no awareness regarding different concepts. But we will now implement initial, secondary and tertiary waste management principles, preparing a team of volunteers, who will oversee the entire project. The standardised procedure will have one tricycle for 200 families, including six trained volunteers, four responsible for collection of garbage, one for supervising the entire process and another for segregating non-biodegardable waste.”The Cantonment has approx. population of 10, 400 people, out of which several, members will be trained for the project. Srinivasan also visited and shortlisted three sites for storage of non-biogradable waste. “The three buildings to be used as sites include Old slaughter house, an abandoned gas agency and a barrack that was once used to house troops. All the principles of SLRM will be implemented and the waste treated will in fact be used to generated revenue by the Cantonment,” said Srinivasan.Sanoje proposed the idea as he was impressed by the concept of generating jobs and revenue from waste. “The quantum of income is high and it will also take create of our waste disposal problem. We plan to begin the first phase of project by October and complete it by November,” he says.


China On High Alert As India Puts Advance Missiles Along Border

China has once again urged India to take necessary steps for maintaining peace and stability in the region.

On Thursday, the Chinese Defence Ministry said in a statement that India should scrap its plan to station advanced cruise missiles along the “disputed” border between the two countries. The Chinese ministry made the request after Indian Armed Forces officials revealed their plan to build up military and civilian infrastructure capabilities in border areas. They also revealed that the Indian Army would equip regiments, deployed on the Sino-Indian border, with ‘BrahMos’ missiles.

Beijing expressed serious concern over the Indian Army’s plan, saying that it was the duty of two nuclear-armed Asian neighbours to create proper environment in order to resolve all outstanding bilateral issues through peaceful negotiation. According to the statement, it is unfortunate that New Delhi and Beijing have failed to resolve their border dispute despite trying hard since 1962 war between the two countries.

Commenting on India’s missile plans, senior spokesperson of the Chinese Defence Ministry Wu Qian said that India had agreed to maintain peace and stability in the border region in the past. However, New Delhi has started sending more troops to the border area in recent times, he added. Wu further said: “We hope that the Indian side can do more to benefit peace and stability along the border and in the region, rather than the opposite.”

Earlier, India strongly criticised the Asian giant for laying claim to more than 90,000sqkm ruled by New Delhi in the eastern part of the Himalayas, saying that China illegally occupied 38,000sqkm of its territory on the Aksai Chin plateau in the west. India also slammed China for providing political and economic support to its arch-rival – Pakistan. Beijing’s moves have prompted New Delhi to export missiles to five South-East Asian countries, including Vietnam, which are engaged in a dispute with Beijing over the South China Sea.

Interestingly, the Chinese ministry issued the statement ahead of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the upcoming G-20 Summit. Indian foreign policy experts have opined that Beijing is trying to normalise the situation so that President Xi can get an opportunity to discuss different aspects of bilateral ties in a favourable atmosphere. So far, the Indian government has made no comment on the statement issued by the Chinese ministry.

Air Force plans integrated security system at airbases

Air Force plans integrated security system at airbases

Vijay Mohan

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, August 12

Over six months after terrorists infiltrated into the Pathankot Air Force Station and engaged security forces in a three-day gunfight, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is installing Integrated Perimeter Security System (IPSS) at an airbase in the western sector as a pilot project.The pilot project will be used for evaluating the system and security methodology and incorporating suitable modifications. The IAF has plans to install similar systems at 54 airbases across the country and is looking at the industry to meet its requirements on a turn-key basis.The IAF issued a request for proposal this week seeking participation from private vendors to supply, install, test, integrate and commission an integrated security system at an airbase under the Western Air Command having a perimeter of about 25 km.The integrated system comprises a smart electrical power fence capable of detecting and deterring intruders, thermal cameras with wide area surveillance and tracking ability in darkness, fog and bad weather, closed circuit TV cameras with built in motion detector and vibration sensors to detect waling, crawling or digging movements. All sensor inputs would be processed and analysed by a security-control software at a control centre.While the IAF moves to enhance perimeter security of its installations, the issue of encroachments and unauthorised constructions such as houses, commercial establishments and shacks around airbases and other sensitive military installations continue to be a cause of concern.In gross violation of statutory provisions, illegal constructions have, over the years, come up right up to the perimeter walls of military installations and at many places even under the aircraft’s approach path, raising security and safety issues.Apart from smart fences, the IAF has also initiated several other measures such as procuring light armoured vehicles, weapons, protective gear and other technical equipment to enhance the capability of its security teams.
