| Ensure no inconvenience to Awaam: GoC Northern Command | | |
Jammu: Celebrating Human Rights day, Lieutenant General Sanjiv Chachra, AVSM, VSM, GOC-in-C, Northern Command directed all troops in Jammu & Kashmir to ensure Zero Human Rights violations during conduct of counter Terrorist Operations.
"Counter Terrorist Operations requires patience, maturity and restraint. I know the task is onerous but I have faith in your abilities and we must ensure at all times that the AWAAM is not put to any inconvenience or harassment due to our actions " the Army Cdr said, while reiterating the Army's Commitment of Zero tolerance towards HR violations.
The Indian Army has one of the finest records for ensuring HR and the importance given to this valued quality is evident from the fact that a HR branch at the Army HQ has been functioning since Mar 1993 and such branches exist in formations up to Brigade/Sector level. A capsule on the importance of respect for HR is also conducted for troops undergoing pre-induction training at various battle schools.
Pertinently, during the past 20 yrs, 1524 allegations of HR violations against Army personnel serving in Northern Command have been received. Each and every allegation was enquired into by an independent and autonomous body and 42 of these allegations were found to be true. 124 personnel (41 offrs, 83 JCOs/OR) found guilty of these violations were expeditiously tried by Army courts and awarded exemplary punishments ranging from dismissal from service without any service benefits to imprisonment. "As professionals, we are here to serve our country.
I am proud of each one of my Officers, JCOs and men and compliment you for your dedication and sacrifice", General Chachra said. |
