It will be a good move if the storekeepers and top officials are drastically transferred and reshuffled. There is ginormous corruption involved in purchase, quality control while goods are accepted, sale of waste generated and thefts in collusion. It would be best if private interest in protecting assets is involved. The corruption story I got from an honest store official, is to be heard to be believed.

Bad management of IAS officers sitting in Delhi is given to factories. But still, this decision is good because the intention is good.

Lack of Innovation, modernisation, delayed deliveries, poor management, and low quality of ammunition, etc., there are numerous issues in OFB factories. Instead of corporatizing, GOI should have made plans for privatising at least some of the factories. Now GOI still pumping money into these new PSUs for modernisation. Hope these will not be new version of money pits again.

As a person whose close family members were in Armed Forces,who spent his 24 years of early life in Cantonments and who cried for days after reading the "Himalayan Blunder" by Brig. J P Dalvi; I find this article/video deeply researched and it hits the nail on the head. Another anomaly is the British legacy of location of major cantonments in the interior of India( for their own control; of Central India) , making the movement of troops to Border , by trains , a mammoth task. Can one imagine that the 1st Armoured Corps Division was based in Jhansi , earlier, although their major field of operation was against Pakistan? This video is not confined, only, to the bare facts , the benefits and the implication of these steps but , also, analyses the root cause of this malady. Kudos to the Print team for this wonderful informative piece .
