A General's letter in anguish to the PM
by Surendrakumar Saxena on Apr 28, 2008 01:48 PM   Permalink

Respected PM Sir, The feelings conveyed by our Ex. Chief Of The Army Staff is genuine and are valuable to be taken into consideration ASOP. Have any body ever thought the the out going rate of Airmen/Jawans (OR) is so high. The country pays a very high price for their training and upkeep. The only reason is the difference between the pay in the defence services and the outside civil society. The rates of commodities are similar for every one. Can a Jawan/Airman can think of purchasing a two bed room flat in Delhi or any other 'A' class city, can he afford to educate his children in a good public schoo. The answer is simple 'NO' These are some of the simple reason the Jawan/Airman are going out whenever they get chance to go. My humble request to our respected PM is to consider our Ex. Chief's letter at the earliest.
