๐ฅ If the administration forced a military CHT convoy to halt in a terror-prone zone just to service an official's ego, it is not just arrogance, it is playing with the lives of our soldiers.
Sources says, DC the "VIP Halt"
In the highly volatile terrain of Kashmir, an Army convoy, even one utilizing Civil Hired Transport (CHT), is a prime target. In these dangerous sectors, movement is survival; halting a convoy makes sitting ducks out of the jawans. For Deputy Commissioner Pankaj Kumar Sharma to reportedly demand that a military convoy stall simply to let his own cavalcade pass first shows a shocking disregard for the tactical realities and extreme security risks our soldiers face daily.
Despite the immense danger of being stranded, the jawans tried to handle the situation. But the ultimate betrayal occurred when a policeman allegedly cocked his service rifle at the troops.
You do not point a loaded weapon at combat-hardened soldiers of the Rashtriya Rifles who are already on edge, stranded in a high-risk area. To a soldier trained to neutralize threats in fractions of a second, a cocked rifle is an immediate, lethal threat. The fact that the entire blame is now being dumped on the heads of the Indian Army is a complete travesty.
How quickly the civil administration forgets.
Just a year ago, when Kishtwar was drowning under devastating flash floods, it wasn't the bureaucrats' convoys that saved the day. When the local infrastructure collapsed, it was the jawans and the Commanding Officer of this exact 17 Rashtriya Rifles battalion who plunged into the mud and raging waters. They worked without sleep, pulling civilians from the rubble and rescuing the very region that now points weapons at them.
Our soldiers do not ask for VIP treatment; they only ask to do their duty and survive the gauntlet of the valley. To risk the lives of an entire convoy for a DC's right-of-way, and then criminalize the Army for reacting to a cocked weapon, is an unforgivable insult to the men who bleed to keep Kishtwar safe.
@Indian_Analyzer Why doesn't the govt give landmark pay equivalent to IAS to Armed forces if they require them to do all the clean up acts? This is acceptance of incompetence of civil structures.
@sidhant Ha ha ha, yeh ek baaki rehe gaya tha. Baaki sab departments ka thoda pay bhi dedo Armed forces ko. Kyun basic benefits ke liye bhi court kacheri ghumate ho.
@smitadeshmukh Ha ha ha, this was probably the last thing needed for the Armed forces. The last fall back option for everything in this country is the Army. We are expected to handle everything but when it comes to benefits and we are always given the way to courts !!
@instamart_it@Swiggy@SwiggyCares it's really sad state of affairs that your team is not willing to listen to customer issues. Never going to be back with Swiggy or Instamart.
@SwiggyCares You mean to say, that you can't be doing anything on this. You can call it out openly. Looks like your organization is unclear of the standards you need.
@SwiggyCares This doesn't solve my problem, I am extremely dissatisfied with the glasses and the response from your team. What is the solution you are proposing to me?
@SwiggyCares The base of the glass is completely different and you have no disclaimer on the product page that the actual product may be slightly different from the image
