THE Indian Army, which has been hit by one scandal after the other, in the form of corruption in the arms procurement, fake encounters, psychological disorders leading to an extremely high and unprecedented rate of suicides, fragging (slaying one’s own officers) is now tainted by a major scam, in the quality of rations provided to its soldiers. Indian soldiers, who are supposed to be fit are being given food supplies that are well past their expiry date, to the extent of two years.
Director General of Army Services Corps (ASC) Lt Gen S K Sahni faces the Court Martial, becoming the highest Ranking Indian Army officer to be Court Marshaled, reveal the investigations of The Daily Mail. These investigations further indicate that the Army is already reeling under a series of meat, egg, flour, pulses and other ration scams in recent years
The Daily Mail’s findings reveal that the supply of food items unfit for human consumption to the Indian Army has led to a major affliction similar to the “Mad Cow Disease”, which is an incurable, fatal brain disease that affects the nervous system of cattle and possibly some other animals, such as goats and sheep, causing them to act strangely and lose control of their mental faculty
and i quote Col Vasudeva,
“Dozens of soldiers, including officers, have also been killed by colleagues in quarrels over not being granted leave and other personal issues. The army has lost 72 soldiers to enemy attacks so far this year and another 32 have been killed by their colleagues.”(lol by colleagues something that only happens in India :rotfl:)
to sum it all what Col Vasudeva is trying to say is that when u fight for salary and not for an ideology or cause then stuff of such nature is bound to happen coupled ofcourse with expired rations being fed to soldiers cause of poor economic conditions prevailing in the country.
Re: Indian army suffering from “mad-soldier disease”
you guys should be ashamed of yourselves! did you even read the so called Daily Mail report? Claims this is according to their own investigations they did in Kashmir (they call it occupied Kashmir for obvious bias). Now go look at the ‘about us’ section of the paper.
this little pipsqueak of a rag did their own investigation amongst Indian army! and some people are idiotic enough to consider it credible and quote it here?
