A demand that has been delayed for about 10 years under the UPA Era, has now been finally fulfilled under PM Narendra Modi’s Administration. Desh ka Chowkidar has kept up with his promises and continues to do the same in future days.
On the occasion of Surgical Strike on Terrorist Training camps, PM Narendra Modi has approved the creation of three new special divisions that will look after operations related to space, cyber and Special Forces. This approval comes as a massive boost for Armed Forces.
Highly placed Government sources told “MyNation”:
The three formations have been approved by the Prime Minister. The issue had come up for discussion during the combined commanders’ conference held in Jodhpur just a day back under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi.
Officers of the rank of major General and equivalent in the Indian Navy and Indian Air Force will be heading the 3 Agencies as per appointed. The cyber and space agencies will be based out of Delhi for close coordination with their civilian counterparts while the special operations division will be based outside the National capital.
The decision to put off the creation of new commands and work towards creating smaller formations was taken soon after Prime Minister Modi had told senior military commanders that while global powers were reducing the number of their personnel, Indian forces were continuously demanding expansion in size.
The armed forces had initiated the demand for creation of three new commands during the UPA Government( though it remained unfinished) where the three services had decided to take one command each, setting up three army commander-equivalent positions.
The country has only two operational tri-services commands including the strategically located Andaman and Nicobar command in Port Blair, which is now likely to have an officer from the Navy as its head permanently. The other tri-services organisation is the strategic forces command, which looks after the nuclear arsenal including the Agni-series missiles for the nuclear command authority headed by the Prime Minister.
