From: RK Sachar Subject: Height of Subterfuge
Hi All,
This email is essentially to share my anguish on the lack of spine in

our senior leadership. The absence of guts among the senior lot is

an old story, but needs to be recounted periodically so as to arouse

some of us to demand change, because if we want this great

institution called the Army to survive.

You all know that as part of devolution of financial powers IFA are

being posted to various Corps and Command HQs. Being from

Defence Accounts, these people are civilians, who are governed by

rules applicable to civil services. In other words they are not

expected to do combat duties nor are they expected to go out for

exercises, undertake military routine or command troops, their

sole job is limited to rendering sound financial advise to the

commanders so as to ensure correct utilisation of funds. There

office routine is 9-to-5 spread overt five day week.

Now to be on their right side, the GOC Corps and Command/ staff

on the behalf of their bosses, are placing combatant drivers with

DD vehicles and soldiers as runner with these IFAs. This is totally

wrong and must be stopped forthwith. This diversion of WE

equipment and soldiers will not only impact on battle worthiness

of the Army but also set a precedent for the IFA staff at Army HQ

to demand similar facilities.

Do circulate this mail and demand action if you agree with me.
with best regards
yogi
