Last night VIJYANT THAPAR my son fought dutifully for the country's honour but he was not destined to see the beautiful Sunrise on the 29 jun 99 & thereafter. However his legacy has continued to inspire the soldiers and the youth of the country. Love you son. Mother

@SushilS27538625 India's systemic bureaucratic culture often lacks basic human empathy. It is unacceptable that the armed forces, who unconditionally protect the nation during wars and natural disasters, are subjected to such disrespect. Jai Hind ki Sena 🌸🇮🇳🙏

The Power of DC & FIR

The incident I’m sharing is new to the public domain and still ongoing. It highlights the power of the IAS and the helplessness of the army due to ignorance and naivety, especially the power of the DC. In 2012, a new IAS officer with little experience was appointed as DC of Leh, as is usually the case. Heavy army deployment in the area often leads to situations requiring close coordination between the army and civil authorities. The DC’s confidence swells when a three-star general the Corps Commander personally interacts with him, making him feel important. The fault lies with the army for involving a corps commander instead of a lieutenant colonel to handle the matter with a DC. To cut the story short, during a visit to his area of responsibility, the DC went to Pangong Tso lake, where the army patrols lake using boats strictly for military purposes—no civilian joy rides are allowed. Even the officers posted around. I was posted nearby but never saw the lake from the middle. The DC wanted a joy ride, and his staff approached the in-charge JCO, who outright refused. Believing the corps commander was under his influence, the DC was shown the door by a JCO. This hurt his pride; imagine an IAS with only three years of service, who considered himself the king of Ladakh, being denied a joy ride. Returning to Leh, he likely consulted his staff and superiors and then issued a notice to the local army Brigade stationed at Lukung, claiming the area was government land unlawfully occupied by the army. He demanded immediate vacating of the area or he would seize all assets, giving a week’s deadline. This unit had been there since 1962. It took seven days for the responsible brigade to be informed, but they did not take it seriously. On the 8th day, the SDM Nyoma, along with police, arrived at the site, loaded everything—including sensitive communication equipment—by order of the DC Leh. The threat of an FIR shocked the army hierarchy; they didn’t know how to respond. Eventually, a quick reaction team from an infantry unit intercepted the SDM’s convoy and retrieved the equipment, but significant damage was done to army assets. The QRT actions were followed by DC with FIRs being lodged against the brigade commander, G1(lt col), and the infantry CO whose QRT intervened. Warrants for their arrest were issued, and they needed anticipatory bail from the J&K High Court. Even the local judiciary seemed to side with the DC. The army tried to file a counter-FIR, but was ignored. The infamous JAG branch of the army was helpless, as it is they are more apt in screwing their own , just like Stalin’s police chief Beria. The J&K HC ordered reinvestigation, from the same police. No joint investigation. Idealy the DC should have been sacked, the SDM arrested, and police officers dismissed. Yet, the army officers are unaware of the FIR still pending against them, which is now in the national digital system. The DC, who issued illegal orders, remains comfortably placed in an unaccountable position. Meanwhile, the Indian army, in the name of civilian supremacy subordinate to civilian continue to suffer,recently Kisthwar case.
