“A war to end all wars”

The world is slowly but surely edging forward towards World War -3. Procrastination by having frequent dialogues with China is enabling China-Pakistan to mobilise their resources. Frequency of terror attacks by Pak is increasing by the hour.
Arrest of Chinese spies in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim for creating mayhem, is disturbing. Their intrusion through Nepal is the wake-up call.
India must strengthen its guard at the "chicken neck", which China is aiming to take over. This could cut off the entire North-India from the hinterland.
If, necessary, a small surgical strike at Nepal would be necessary to seize a part of Nepal to obfuscate China from further misadventure. No candyfloss approach for Nepal under the present Oli dispensation.
Time is of the essence
Are we awaiting arrival of S-400 air shield from Russia, Rafael fighter jets from France, Spice jets from Israel and F-22 & F-35 fighter jets from the US ? These would be useful in the long term perspective.
Though India can take on China and Pakistan together, but the NATO forces led by the US will have to concurrently engage with China and North Korea. This will force China to fight the war at multiple fronts.
India will have the opportunity to take back POK, Gilgit -Baltistan and Aksai chin.
India must also assist in the liberation // separatist’ movements in Baluchistan , Sindhu Desh and Pakhtoonistan. Afghanistan must grab the opportunity of taking over Pakhtoonistan.

Govt taking all possible steps to tackle CoronaVirus

The government is taking all possible steps to tackle CoronaVirus. The steps taken by Govt of India are laudatory. The metros, especially Delhi, need to opt for rolling lockdowns if necessary, to reduce rising infections, just like Chennai and Guwahati,. for a few days, followed by reopening. After all, since research is going on all over the world at a staggering pace, therapies and vaccines may be only a few months away, and all that is needed is to keep fatalities low till then.

MIB takes 11 months to assign additional charge of DG, DD post

Similar situation prevails in MoEF&CC. The particular Section of MoEFCC plays major role to delay the process. The selection of Directors and DGs of subordinate offices and autonomous bodies are kept pending for long time to provide benefits to the IFS officers on deputation. Especially, where the aspirant are Engineers or Scientists. The selection of Director, IPRIT, Bangalore is over long back but the same is being kept pending by RT Division, MoEFCC. When is comes to the appointment of IFS officer, the process is advanced. It was felt that the situation will improve under the regime of Honorable PM, but situation of scientific institutions remain same.
