Re: Indian Army needs Sofisticated Bunkers..

I should say a bunker should be comfortable to live in, without damp, but not too comfy that one is tempted not to go out and do his main task of standing vigil, even in inclement weather.

Re: Indian Army needs Sofisticated Bunkers..

True Sir, I just posted for people to see the internal space..

It depends very differently what we do with that space, Like having a Temple, Gym, Sleeping quarters, Briefing Room etc, Specifically design what need there and not something which may distract one from doing his Job..

The main objective to have a safe shelter from Nature and Enemy for a quantity of men in good health and moral to face challenges..

It is good that you posted them.

One must increase his knowledge.

They are great to have, let us say, where there are these posts which are the anti Infiltration posts on the second line.

Re: Indian Army needs Sofisticated Bunkers..

Few things that might help :

It sound expensive but it will help in Moral and Security.
Though talking of expense we are spending on many things, This is just fraction of it to save life and enhance security where its most needed.
The life of each soldier is precious as they are in front lines while we sit in comfort.There is enough money in the country but alas netas devour all.

Sir, My point is mostly around the person on the field during regular duty in FOB over field areas in bunkers or very small area and very isolated one starts to feel he is not needed / purpose in life, Not many feel the same but few despite knowing his family back at home is safe in ca-torment, the few starts to isolate himself internally from others and this is where his problems starts which is same for others as he is living with them, And this is the stage where wrong ideas starts in once mind..

Now many post of medium size have there own gyms with some bench and weights helps to divert attentions and there was always temple, though still i feel more need to be done..

Regarding Webcam idea, Sir its from westerners as saw some vid on utube, Its safe harder to jam or intercept or hack as its an internet online with many safety features, Unlike wireless cell phones, though there are places where Satellite Phone is available but there is small number..

Sir, Honestly there is little or no to expect from Civil administration, there attitude is very different regarding army, May be a hi-rank officer may have but a lower rank person`s problem have no solutions, Locals are with Locals and will always be with them coz they know we are on there land for short time and dont worth much in long run..
Gymming is one of the best ways to cope stress and push out anger and frustration.There SHOULD be some basic gymming stuff(free weights/dumbells) in the small posts as well in case the area is not big.

Actually walking up and down the mountains doing routine work is greater than gym activity.

So was a good round of basketball or volleyball on the Posts.

And what is invigorating is the fresh air and the invigorating and sweet smell of the Pines. I can never forget that!

Stress build up when one feels he is doing unproductive labour and wasting his time.

It is important that one is educated and motivated to understand the immense responsibility they shoulder even in the very insignificant tasks they do for the Motherland and how the Nation look up to them so that they can have a good night sleep under the blanket of security the soldiers provide.

And the real reason for stress is - An idle mind is a Devil's Workshop.

Activity is the best stress buster.

Walking up mountains is indeed a good work out but for legs only.

A workout with some weights is indeed different and much better since it's not part of the routine work but part of some "activity".

True, but lugging the rations, or cutting wood or many other such activities that requires all the limbs to operate daily does help.

We never had gyms before, but the simple PT, medicine balls, beam and rope and the wooden horse kept us in fine fettle!

Also playing games like Basketball and volleyball on the Posts!

I agree one did not have gym toned bodies, but adequate bodies to do the task they are supposed to do!

But don't misunderstand. I am not saying you are wrong.

I think the Genesis series developed and refined for our use with L&T massproducing it, we should be able to provide a huge numbers for a great price. Such bunkers should also be in place for the large ammo storages, and other critical locations

BSF launches bullet-proof bunker and high-end infrared cameras

Jammu: BSF has introduced a state-of-the-art Communication and Surveillance System, armed with bullet-proof bunker and high-end infrared cameras, along the Indo-Pakistan border in Jammu frontier to arrest cross-border infiltration.

"We have put in place the Communication and Surveillance System (CSS) along sensitive villages and riverine areas on the International Border," BSF Deputy Inspector General Virender Singh told PTI.

"This new system is being used to check infiltration of militants from across the border," he said.

The CCS, a ropeway system with a bullet-proof mobile bunker carrying high-resolution infrared cameras and high-end floodlights, would carry out surveillance on sensitive riverine areas - a preferred infiltration route in Hiranagar sector of Jammu frontier.

The ropeway system has motor-operated pulley-cables along which bullet-proof bunker runs, he said, adding that a bunker is fitted with eight infrared cameras, floodlights, mikes and other equipment.

"The cameras have 360-degree rotors manned from a control room by technical official of BSF," the DIG said. First such system has been installed in a riverine area and low-lying parts at the Bobiya Border Outpost (BoP) in this sector.

BSF has identified 19 sensitive and riverine areas and gaps along the 190-km International Border in Jammu frontier for instalment of the facility.

"The entire project is prepared by our men. It is meant to deal with situation like fog and during night hours, when visibility is less... A company can move in that bullet proof bunker... There are also hooters and alarm system to ensure that there is no infiltration along the border," he said.

"The entire area will be illuminated through lights. The high-resolution cameras can even see through fog. The entire area will remain under close monitoring of our boys. The system is also fitted with small mikes which connect two bunkers and the central bullet-proof bunker," he said.

The system has been developed in just a month, Project Director commandant Jameel Ahmed said. After successful results, it would be installed in other riverine and sensitive areas as a fool-proof security measure, the DIG said.
