  • Shortage of Defence Personnel
    the shortage is going to be even more as the clear discrimination of govt wit defence vis a vis civil counterpart are glaring in terms of lower pay, slow promotions, and denial of rightful facilities and hard ships.
    look at the cases like NFU, OROP,Promotion structure etc
    so shall tou pay so shall tou get.
