200 armed force personnel becoming disabled due to injuries every year: Army doctor

Nearly 200 armed forces personnel become disabled every year, a senior doctor for the forces has said, citing road accidents and snow avalanche, especially in hilly terrains, and battle injuries as the prime reasons.

Lt Gen Bipin Puri, Director General of the Armed Forces Medical Service, said the disability armed forces personnel suffer are not only related to spinal cord and limbs - one of the most commonly noticed.

Many a time there are cases of crippling of intestine and lungs due to injury to abdomen and chest, Lt Gen Puri said. He said in the armed forces medical service, the primary motto is to save life by resorting to damage-control surgery. "Every year 200 armed forces personnel suffer from serious disability. It is a huge number. Battle injuries are of course the reason, but more of our injuries are because of accidents in hilly terrains, snow avalanche," Puri told PTI, citing the data available with him for the past 10 years.

The Indian Army is engaged in anti-militancy and anti-insurgency operations in Jammu and Kashmir and northeast India. The Army alone has more than 10 lakh personnel.

Lt Gen Puri said the journey from being a disabled soldier to an abled person is challenging and the Army has take steps to mitigate the problems faced by its soldiers in this regard."There are physical, emotional, psychological and social issues involved in this," he said.

The Army, he said, has an Artificial Limb Centre, a premier institute in Pune, to address the problems related to disability of limbs.

The Army is also building five ALC sub-centres in Chandigarh and Guwahati, and a base hospital each in Delhi and Lucknow to minimize the distance a disabled soldier from the northern region may have to travel for treatment, he said.

Blood on their hands?

The Indian Army’s 3-Corps and some of its officers have been accused of killing three Manipuri youngsters in 2010. The case is pending in Gauhati High Court

Representational Image (Photo: Facebook)

It was this newspaper, which first broke the news in 2016, when it revealed how the Army, under the command of the Chief of the Army Staff General Bikram Singh and Lieutenant General Dalbir Singh Suhag, then General Officer Commanding-Chief (Eastern Command), had bent backwards to have Brigadier LI Singh’s otherwise illustrious career scuttled in the Indian Army.

With 57 known Pakistani kills in Operation Parakaram in the post Kargil operations in the Drass sector, a grateful nation had bestowed LI Singh with the Yudh Seva Medal. It was a time when things were all set for him to command a Mountain Brigade in the Sikkim Himalayas.

But he was handpicked by then COAS General VK Singh and asked to report as the Deputy Director General of the Army’s most sensitive unit — the Disciplinary and Vigilance Department. It was also a time when the young Brigadier thought his career was all set to end as Lieutenant General, if not the COAS of the Indian Army.

But unknown to this Army officer from Manipur, things were unfolding nearer home in the Headquarters of the Indian Army’s now infamous 3- Corps located in Rangapahar near Dimapur in Nagaland. This Corps oversees counter-insurgency operations in Assam, Nagaland and Manipur. Without informing the top brass of the Indian Army, a group of officers under the then GOC were working to convert the Intelligence and Surveillance Unit into something it was never intended to be.

It was to be answerable only to the GOC. First, they picked up three Manipuri youngsters from the 7th Mile area of Dimapur. Two of them were former members of the banned People’s Liberation Army of Manipur but they had been living normal lives and running small businesses.

They were subjected to the most horrifying torture, which included being burnt with oxyacetylene flames and nails being driven into their heads. Finally, they were put to rest after being shot behind the Officer’s Mess. Their bodies were then dumped in the jungles of nearby Karbi Anglong district in Assam.

One of the brothers of the deceased filed a case with Nagaland Police stating that one Manipuri speaking Army man and another woman in uniform were involved in the abduction. Nagaland Police then approached Army Headquarters in Rangapahar but were turned away citing immunity under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act.

Soon Assam Police were informed about the discovery of three bullet-ridden and decomposed bodies in the Karbi Anglong area. All this happened around March 2010. Then in May of the same year, one Major Ravi Kiran, belonging to the Intelligence and Surveillance Unit, turned whistleblower and wrote to the then Brigadier General (Staff ).

When nothing happened after his complaint, Major Kiran wrote to the GOC-in-C of the Eastern Command that the three Manipuri youngsters were severely tortured before being shot behind their Unit’s Mess in March 2010.

Finally, the whistle blower’s complaint reached the desk of General VK Singh in New Delhi, then the Chief of Army Staff. He ordered an inquiry into the mess that the Army had got into. Eastern Command had it seems ordered a sham inquiry and almost indicted Major Kiran for trying to tarnish the “good image” of the Army.

Then came the botched up Jorhat Operation in which the Intelligence and Surveillance Unit, led by Captain Rubina Kaur Keer, raided the house of an Army contractor by the name of one Gogoi.

Once there, they tied up Gogoi’s wife and children before allegedly looting about Rs 20 lakh in cash and jewellery, took away his licensed pistol and three mobile phones. All of that was reported to Assam Police, who eventually traced one of the mobile phones to a place in Haryana. They traced a call made to a Havildar of the Unit who had taken part in the raid. It was perhaps the last straw on the camel’s back for General VK Singh, who ordered a Disciplinary and Vigilance Ban on Lt General Suhag.

The man who was made to sign that letter happened to be Brigadier LI Singh. However, by a twist of fate, General VK Singh’s tenure could not be extended and he had to relinquish office. Then General Bikram Singh became the Chief of Army Staff and one of his first acts was to lift the Disciplinary and Vigilance Ban on Lt General Suhag. And subsequently, on a charge of having stolen two carpets measuring 2×5 feet from the Flag Staff House of the Brigade, which he was commanding in Sikkim, Brigadier LI Singh was placed under a Disciplinary and Vigilance Ban.

General Suhag went on to become the Chief of the Army Staff. Other officers who were part of this exercise were also rewarded. Then in 2016, Lt Colonel Dharamveer Singh of the same Intelligence and Surveillance Unit wrote to his superiors in the 3-Corps, asking them to reopen the case of the killing of the three Manipuri youngsters in 2010.

The higher-ups in the 3-Corps tried their best to persuade him to withdraw the letter promising that his complaint would be looked into. One morning a Lt Colonel, accompanied by a Major and a Captain, came and picked Lt Col Singh up from his quarters in Imphal.

His distraught wife first reported the matter to police and then moved the Manipur High Court on a Habeas Corpus case. About 10 days later, he was released by the Army, who had been claiming all the while that he was being re-posted. Thereafter, in his counter-affidavit to the Manipur High Court, Lt Colonel Dharamveer Singh laid it all bare.

He recollected how the three Manipuri youngsters were picked up, tortured, shot behind the Officer’s Mess in Rangapahar and their bodies dumped in the jungles of Karbi Anglong. And also how an assistant publicity secretary of the proscribed People’s Liberation Army by the name of G Jiteshwar Sharma, alias Gypsy, was picked up from his rented house in September 2011 and eventually killed after failing to meet the Army’s demand for Rs 20 lakhs.

He was buried behind the Unit’s Mess. Then came the case of the abduction of a Manipuri girl with a child who was released only after she was able to cough up Rs 1 crore. Also mentioned was the killing of a Manipuri student called Sawaijam Nectar and Captain Rubina Kaur Keer figures quite prominently in that report. The Army in the case of the three Manipuri youngsters, now pending in Gauhati High Court, had stated that they had not killed them but that they died in an inter-gang fight.

Then came the report made available to The Statesman about the recommendation of a Sena Medal (Gallantry) for Captain Rubina Kaur Keer for her brave efforts in infiltrating the group of the three Manipuri PLA activists and successfully eliminating them.

It was signed by Col G Shridharan. Another officer, a Major, was given the Kirti Chakra and is now a Colonel commanding the 12th Assam Rifles posted at Tennoupal on the Imphal-Moreh route supervising the flow of Moreh trade.

Indian Army finalises project to produce clothing, equipment for soldiers guarding Siachen glacier, Doklam
The items which will be produced in India include thermal insoles, snow goggles, ice axe, boots, avalanche victim detector, rock pitons, karabiner-related mountaineering equipment and sleeping bags, the sources said.

Military sources said the Army is aiming at saving nearly Rs 300 crore annually by indigenous production of these items which are, at present, sourced from countries like the US, Australia, Canada and Switzerland. (Express Photo Praveen Khanna/Representational)

The Army is giving final touches to a long-pending project to manufacture specialised clothing, sleeping kits and key equipment for its soldiers deployed in the Siachen glacier – the world’s most dangerous battlefield.

India spends around Rs 800 crore annually in import of Extreme Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) and mountaineering kits for soldiers guarding the glacier at the heights ranging from 16,000 feet to 20,000 feet, according to official data.

Military sources said the Army is aiming at saving nearly Rs 300 crore annually by indigenous production of these items which are, at present, sourced from countries like the US, Australia, Canada and Switzerland. “We have almost finalised the project under which a large number of items required for troops deployed in Siachen Glacier will be manufactured in India through involvement of the private sector,” said a source.

The items which will be produced in India include thermal insoles, snow goggles, ice axe, boots, avalanche victim detector, rock pitons, karabiner-related mountaineering equipment and sleeping bags, the sources said.

Some of the clothing gear, to be manufactured in India, will also be supplied to army personnel deployed in high-altitude locations like Doklam along the treacherous Sino-India border, it said.

The Siachen Glacier in the Karakorum range is known as the highest militarised zone in the world where the soldiers have to battle frostbite and high winds. Avalanches and landslides are common at the glacier during the winter and temperatures can drop to as low as minus 60 degrees Celsius.

According to official figure, the Army lost 163 personnel deployed at the glacier, the worlds highest battlefield, during the last 10 years. India and Pakistan started deploying troops at the strategically key glacier in 1984.

The sources said the high-altitude equipment are being divided into two categories. The first lot will be for those deployed in the range of 9,000 feet to 12,000 feet and second category will be for those guarding the border beyond the heights of 12,000 feet.

The NDA government has been extensively focusing on ensuring indigenous production of military equipment and platforms under its Make in India initiative. The sources said a number of foreign companies have also shown interest in co-production of ECWCS and high-altitude equipment along with Indian firms. The Army first mooted the idea of indigenous production of the high-altitude clothing and equipment around 10 years ago.

Swara Bhaskar tweets about Indian Army, gets trolled
In her latest tweet Swara used abusive words for the Indian Army. This is the example of why some of the Bollywood actors are regarded as anti-nationals. Showing her immature behaviour, the actress insulted the Indian army soldiers who have unexpectedly taken a strict action against the stone pelters in the area.

This was on the day when the country was mourning the death of Major Kaustubh Rane who sacrificed his life during the infiltration operation in Jammu and Kashmir.

Here are her tweets commenting on the Indian army:

Delhi: Green corridor for soldier's heart transplant at Army Hospital Research & Referral

Army Hospital Research And Referral The soldier was waiting for heart transplant since July 12

In order to save the life of a 35-year-old serving soldier of the Indian Army, the Delhi Police created a green corridor on Monday to help safely transport a live heart from the Palam Airforce Airport to the Research & Referral Hospital in Delhi Cantonment area. The patient had been suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart becomes enlarged and cannot pump blood effectively.

"There was no option but to provide a transplant because to the soldier," said Brig T Chatterjee, Army R&R Hospital.

The patient, a soldier of 101 engineering regiment, had been waiting for this heart since July 12. On Monday, a patient was declared brain dead at PGI, Chandigarh. The donor's heart was then brought to Delhi through a special airforce donier jet aircraft.


The heart needs to be successfully replanted into the recipient within four hours of its retrieval from the donor. In this case, the heart was retrieved at PGI Chandigarh, at 10:00 hours and was into the operation theatre of RR Hospital, Delhi at 11:15 hours.

"In its continuous efforts to serve better the officers of the traffic unit of the Delhi Police have done it again by creating a Special Green Corridor to save the life of a serving soldier. The green corridor was provided on a route of 6 km to take the organ from the technical area Air Force Station, Palam to RR Hospital. The distance was covered in just 6 minutes which would have taken more than 30 minutes in a regular course," stated a release by the Joint Commissioner of Police.

This is the second heart transplant in the Indian Army. The first was also conducted this year by the same doctor, Col Dr Sameer Kumar.

In May this year, a 34-year-old Lance Naik had undergone a successful first heart transplant of the Indian Army at the RR Hospital in Delhi.
