[Assam] Army, Police Heads Become Governors in North East India

[DR BIKASH KUMAR DAS]

Truely.In 1962 by that time Air Force was asked to go for operation in NE against China, it was late by 7 days.By that time all was over.Immediately all wa asked to leave Assam with admitting defeat.
  Same way in Kargil conflict- Air force V/S Army had internal conflictions - due to Delhi better minds.By then Air force bombed- not only Pak soldiers, our soldiers also got killed and injured badly!!! This is Indian political decision.
  Present Assam governor is none other than earlier GOC 4 Corps Tezpur!! In whose time Army did al the brutalities and lootings in the villages/people/Market.( 12 Bihar Regt-I cant forget in life).
  This is what Delhi plan for NE and we remain fools for ever. When I raised the issue a large number of people feel bad on me.They say I am sentimental.But once I was in Forces and I have been fighting for some genuine causes- not for my benefit.

General JJ Singh will be in Arunachal as New Delhis Manager for the following –

( I agree Governor selection in India is flawed one , u will either see an irrelevant politician whose shelf life is over being appointed or retired govt top official.)



Indian Army is in middle of major reorganization in Eastern command. Two new mountain divisions will be added there -- Checkmate China, though it’s very unlikely there will be any war . Heavy lift helicopters, 140 air droppable ultra light Howitzers,utlity choppers, helicopter gunship and UAVs will be part of these new army divisions.


New Road building project will connect Arunachals two ends – Tawang to Tirap. New Railway connectivity between Itanagar and Harmuti. ND will count on JJ to kick off these two ambitious projects.Rs 10,000 crores announced by MMS last month. Project start to end – 5 years , can they do it , I doubt it ..10 years may be !!!


Road building project in AP is vital for that states economy , future trade with China and more importantly move our Army .The biggest problem is not the inadequacy of soldiers but getting them to border quickly. In AP all roads run along river valleys, but they are not inter connected
..Go Figure it took 45 years from 1962 to realize it !! stupidity 
. To travel between two border towns Nafra and Sarli just 200km , but today one has to journey nearly 600 KM into Assam. Road building in AP is not easy either, roads have to negotiate from 1000 ft gradient height to 20,000 feet. One other reason was after 1962 military defeat , Delhi felt building road meant it will be easier for invading Chinese army to roll down into Assam
.. very defensive mindset that is..
