Army Announces Restructuring Of Its HQ, Rashtriya Rifles To Move From New Delhi To J&K
Indian Army in Nowgam sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
In a bid to make the Indian Army a lean and mean fighting machine, the Army brass has agreed “in-principle” to restructure their headquarters. As part of the process, the Rashtriya Rifles’ (RR) headquarters is to be shifted from New Delhi to Jammu and Kashmir. The move is said to logically make sense as the RR are primarily engaged in counter-insurgency operations in J&K.
Along with a shift in the RR headquarters, the other proposal relates to shifting the Directorate-General of Military Training (DGMT) to Shimla, where the Army Training Command (ARTRAC) is based. Aspects relating to military training and working philosophy are handled by the ARTRAC and it is felt that shifting the DGMT to Shimla would impart a cohesiveness to approach.
It is expected that the above proposals along with the reports on cadre review, increase in pensionable tenure of jawans and merging of separate operational blocks into one vertical would come up for consideration during the Army Commanders’ conference set to take place in the national capital next month.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
