There have been some news reports stating that a fresh package as suggested by the empowered group of secretaries headed by the Cabinet Secretary KM Chandrasekhar is to be finalised during Thursday’s meeting.
Rubbishing these reports, officials clarified that the fresh pay package as suggested by the empowered group of secretaries headed by Cabinet Secretary KM Chandrasekhar is not ready yet. “These are just pressure tactics being adopted by the armed forces, “sources claimed.
“With the inflation rates going up, expecting more funds from the government for not only modernisation plans but also for new pay packages not going to be easy,” said the officer.
Armed forces may have to wait for fresh pay package
Comment: The Defence Forces need to rethink on its lifestyle in terms of tactics and strategy. Building up false hopes will embitter the serving soldiers and Ex Servicemen. Do the Armed Forces have to create pressure tactics? Let the Generals put on the thinking caps and come out with viable solutions to keep the troops motivated. If only the resources and welfare funds at the command of Armed Forces alone are utilised judiciously the life of Serving and Ex Servicemen can be improved without looking over one's shoulders and depending on the Government to improve harsh conditions which a Jawan's family has to endure in Service or as ESM.
