A traditional farewell event for the outgoing Air Chief cancelled as the Centre's move to reclaim land leads to abrupt closure of the historic IAF Sports Complex. With @sanjeev_kapoor@Ahlawat2012@Anchitgupta9 & @rahulsinghx who broke the news. In full https://t.co/CjdsY96CQ6
If a chair like of Chief's can't be given respect ( I can't believe that this is done without intent) what can we expect for any other regular soldier.
Pathetic
Sad
An act full of arrogance
Reduction of Troops in Indian Army: There is a whisper in the air that the Indian Army has been told to reduce 2 Lacs troops from the existing manpower within a period of next about one year. If this is true, I am afraid that 1962 is going to be repeated when the then Prime Minister tried to defend the Country through Civil Police and Assam Rifles etc against China. There is still time. Please wake up. 75% from the First batch of Agniverrs are due for release in January 2027.

He was in jail when his wife told him she had saved ₹10 from family’s ₹50 pension.
He didn't smile.
He wrote to the society & asked them to cut his pension by ₹10—and give it to someone who actually needed it.
When his daughter died during parole, he returned to prison before the leave ended. The parole, he said, was only to look after her. She was gone. His duty was not.
Years later, as Prime Minister, he took a ₹5,000 bank loan to buy a Fiat because he would not use an official car as his own.
He died before he could repay it.
The government offered to waive the loan.
His widow refused — and paid every rupee from her pension.
This was Lal Bahadur Shastri.
Power never raised his standard of living. It only raised his standard of duty.
He died (or killed?) in mysterious conditions in Tashkent after winning 1965 war for Bharat against Pakistan.
To me.... 2nd October matters only because it's Lal Bahadur Shastri Jayanti. Rest anything & everything is irrelevant.
Ma Bharati ke iss sapoot ko shat shat naman🙏
*Lest we Forget*
By
COLONEL HARJINDER SINGH, SM
While we celebrate birth anniversary of Father of Nation today, let's remember two fallen brave officers of Indian Army who laid down their life 19 years back on this day.
*Maj Raghu Raman, Ashok Chakra & Maj KP Vinay , Kirti Chakra of 34RR (JAT)* were truly patriotic officers. I learned many tricks of Counter Insurgency Operations from them. It was Maj KP Vinay, who broke the news of contact which our unit 34 RR(JAT) had established with freshly infiltrated Pakistani terrorists. Vinay was directed to take stock of Battalion Headquarters since he was Adjutant and get Quick Reaction Teams mobilized. He insisted on leading one of the Ghataks, which he finally did. While he was moving to operational area, we mobilised Maj Raghu Raman enroute as per our plan. Both were about 30 minutes ahead of me enroute to place of contact. When I reached the location, first information was that both were shot while fighting and leading their men from front.
All hell had broken loose thereafter since terrorists were not letting bodies of both officers to be retrieved. After great difficulty we could get them out, in bargain two more boys got injured. KP was dead by the time he came in my arms. However, Raghu had a single bullet injury. We spoke at length and he gave me the actual state of situation.
JATs were down but up and furious. It took almost an hour to get firing stopped. Another hour or two to readjust. Now my team leaders, one who had joined from BB Cantt (Srinagar) after listening to news on TV, were sure and ready to settle score.
By now it was evening. Boys were mobilized to get patromax from neighbouring villages and generator from Battalion Headquarters. I, for sure knew that actual action would be at night since terrorists would like to break out in hours of darkness and that would checkmate them. Surely all hell broke loose at night. With single tube of 81 Mortors, we kept the target illuminated, firing almost 450 rounds, unbelievable to many. At mid night 3 to 4 desperate attempts were made to break cordon. However, JATs played well displaying valour, calmness and bravery. Reports of dead bodies started trickling. I kept my fingers crossed hoping and praying, none were civilian .
Around 3 am one of the terrorist broke our cordon. A cool and calm officer, who latter commanded 34RR followed him risking his life under Mortor illumination and knocked him down in maize field. Yes, you heard it right, in maize field at night.
At first light there was total mayhem since every staff offr wanted to know number of kills. Since I had not physically seen bodies, I refused to commit on count. GOC was on line and wanted figures but couldn't get any. By 7 am, Army Cdr was on set. He said he was mobilising Para SF. I reasoned out with him that I had lost two officers and it was our responsibility to settle score. I assured him that he will not be let down and he needed to give us time. He agreed and wished me well.
By 3 in afternoon, when I gave my first report that we had 9 dead bodies of terrorists, all Pakistanis, no one believed. Corps Cdr who had retired for the day asked for a chopper and was with us in no time. When I received him he again asked if I was sure of my count. In evening Army Cdr was on line. His words '' I am proud of your unit, since you have lived up to your commitment, well done".
Immediately after the operation, I got my officers together and asked about their recommendations for their comrades. In true spirit of Olive Greens, they agreed that highest respect be given to the fallen soldiers for valour, raw courage, for going beyond the call of duty and laying their life in the service of Nation. Had they not rushed in and pinned them down, all Nine terrorists would have got away.
*Rest in Peace, Raghu Raman & KP Vinay. Till date you inspire us. You are the legends and brightest stars up in the sky. Keep shining as ever till we meet and raise a toast together.*
@Warrior_Mukul Sir, just got an idea. I hope our officers posted near Delhi too can go and just sit in Uniform besides you in Supreme Court after taking a day off for the NFU Case that is purposefully being delayed. Without saying a word mere presence of so many would have a different impact.
The lesson the Army should learn from the Kedarnath Bhajan clubbing controversy is - if you want to do chamchagiri, keep the Babus in the loop. They will guide you and you will be on their good side.
If you try to one up the bureaucrats in your efforts, then not even god can save you from their wrath.
A smart CO would have gone through the district admin channels as well as army channels, invited the CM, Chief Secretary and of course the Uttar Bharat GOC.
What is more, nothing could have stopped him becoming a Brigadier after that. Maybe even Ram Mandir CEO after retirement. Now all that brilliant potential will go to waste.
- 76 year old retired Colonel Virendra Pratap Singh Chauhan lived in Noida.
- In a local park, the ADM, his wife, and his government gunman allegedly beat up Colonel Chauhan.
- They then filed molestation and SC/ST Act cases against Colonel Chauhan.
- Police arrested the 76 year old Colonel and sent him to Luksar Jail.
- But after the park’s CCTV footage was examined, it reportedly showed Colonel Chauhan sitting quietly while the ADM, his wife, and the gunman were the ones who attacked him.
- The then District Magistrate registered an attempt to murder case against seven people, including the ADM, his wife, and son, suspended the ADM, and Colonel Chauhan was granted bail.
This is why people allege that the SC/ST Act is sometimes misused to settle personal vendettas and ruin innocent people’s lives.
#StopMisuseOfSCSTAct
NFU Case: After a gap of about five months and after a very hard chase, the matter has been again listed for Hearing on 22 Sept 26 in Hon'ble Supreme Court. This is going to be the Fifth Bench in front of which the matter is being listed. With the Govt enjoying a Stay Order since last about TEN years and with more than 75 adjournments, all taken by the Govt, I am still looking forward for a speedy and positive outcome.
@PTI_News Do you have any proof of the same @msisodia ji
Also MCD has all the right to demolish all illegal encroachments in #Delhi
For the starters there's one too just outside your party's office jn #Delhi

@alam8882000@MajorPoonia@Uppolice Abey tumhara dimaag sad hua hai kya…. Railway platform hai woh… ja ke apne washroom me bhi majar bana de. Kabhi toh dimaag ka istemaal karo… ya sirf apni kaum k har gande dhandhe aur kaam ko support karna hi tera uddesh hai.
@MajorPoonia@Uppolice ऐसी ही एक मजार जनपद बरेली के इज्जत नगर रेलवे प्लेटफार्म पर और जनपद प्रयागराज के प्लेटफार्म के अतिरिक्त अधिकांश सरकारी जगहों पर कुकुरमुत्ता की तरह से उग आई है जिनका ध्वस्त किया जान�� जनहित में आवश्यक है।
