Recession turns a boon for Army

New Delhi: The economic slump has a silver lining for the officer-strapped Indian Army. Officers planning to seek premature retirement are having second thoughts and those who had applied have begun withdrawing their applications. In comparison to the situation some months ago, when many army officers were leaving the force for greener pastures in the corporate world, now one official is withdrawing his application for premature retirement every third day, according to army sources. "In the past six months 65 officers have withdrawn their applications for premature retirement," a senior army official said, requesting anonymity.
