Prithvi Does it Again

Prithvi Does it Again  A missile unit of the elite Strategic Forces Command (SFC) successfully launched the second consecutive Prithvi missile today from the test range nearChandipur, off the Odisha Coast as part of a scenario based live salvo launch training exercise. Like the launch on 7th October 2013, this launch too was flawless and achieved all its targeting and technical parameters set out for the training exercise.  In the words of an SFC spokesperson ‘Both the launches were conducted as a culmination to a strategic training exercise. The aim of this exercise to war game our readiness to undertake launches in various contingencies under varied conditions, thereby was validated.  Prithvi missiles are indigenously produced and are equipped with improved high accuracy navigation and manoeuvring system.

Hence DOPT has indicated that it cannot change the holiday from 13/10/13 to 14/10/13. However still efforts are going on from COC side, but we cannot assure any person on the possibility.  Comradely yours. (P.S.Prasad) General Secretary

LDC-UDC ISSUE : THE CASE RETURNED BY THE DOPT & DIRECTED TO TAKE UP THE MATTER DIRECTLY WITH DEPARTMENT OF EXPENDITURE, MOF

LDC-UDC ISSUE : THE CASE RETURNED BY THE DOPT & DIRECTED TO TAKE UP THE MATTER DIRECTLY WITH DEPARTMENT OF EXPENDITURE, MOF. Dear friends,             As has already been informed, the Letter sent to the PM for revision of Grade pay of LDC & UDC by us has been forwarded to JCA, by the DoPT. Accordingly, a letter seeking the status of action taken from the Deputy Secretary, JCA was prepared but before sending the same to him,  the case has received back from the DoP&T wherein it was directed us to take up the matter directly with the Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure). The copy of the letter is posted below: It is to be noted that while forwarding the case to JCA, the DoPT has observed the LDC & UDC case is related to anomaly and the JCA is the authority to deal the cases of anomaly. An agenda item pertains to the upgradation of the grade pay of the LDC and UDC is pending for discussion in the National Anomaly Committee and the JCA has to convene the meeting for the same. And thus the case should have been put up to National Anomaly Committee. But, now the case is received from the DoPT and not from the JCA and the ground on which the case is returned to the DoPT is not known. Since the DoPT has asked us to take up the matter with Ministry of Finance it would be sent. But, we cannot say the action to be taken by the MoF on this most genuine anomaly in the wake of the announcement of 7th Pay Commission/involvement of expenditure. And yet, we have hope, the MoF would suggest something positive. In case it is not happened, as has been suggesting by the readers, it is a case fit to move in the Principle bench of the CAT, I think. Suggestions on future action on the matter from the readers are requested please. With warm regards Sincerely Yours (TKR Pillai) General Secretary Mob 09425372172 Source: www.aiamshq.blogspot.in [http://aiamshq.blogspot.in/2013/10/ldc-udc-issue-case-returned-by-dopt.html] Reproduction of the Dopt letter is given below for your information...
