SCPC: Twenty seven Lt Gens in Higher Administrative Group

Dear Navdeep and Friends,
The orders have, indeed been issued, but there is a rider. Only 33% Lt Gens will be on HAG+. Upgradation will be based on seniority. This will create more problems than any which it might resolve. We have created a system which is akin to landing up in a quagmire!
Regards,
Maj Gen Surjit Singh (Retd)

Congrats to Lieutenant Generals, orders for upgradation to HAG+ expected today. Rejoice if you have three stars on your car or collar or flag. Lieutenant Generals are now officially in Higher Administrative Plus (HAG+) Grade. The exact modalities on the percentage of officers upgraded to HAG+ would be released soon. The countdown for improvement of pensionary benefits for PBOR is also on.
Thanks.

High Court issues Notice-of-Motion to ECI for not carrying out house to house survey for service voter registration. While you would soon hear more news on PB-4 and rest of the pending issues, I thought I would update readers on a very important development. As some of the readers may recall this earlier blog post, Election officials have not been carrying out house to house survey and enumeration in military and cantonment areas for registration of voters as is provided under the statute. In fact, the easiest way out to ensure participation of service voters is house to house enumeration and not filling up of Form-6 as is the practice- which basically is a residual provision if the name is not included through house to house survey or for any other reason.

The Hon’ble Punjab & Haryana High Court today issued a Notice of Motion to the Election Commission and the Central Govt as to why house to house enumeration was not being carried out by election officials in Cantonments. While the case may not result in action as far as the current elections are concerned, it should definitely settle the law for all times to come. The Petitioner in the Writ Petition is Brig H S Ghuman, Shaurya Chakra, a veteran of the Punjab Regiment.
