Mukul Dev Grant of NFU to Armed Forces: For those who talk of cost to Govt for Armed Forces.... Take the case of Haryana as an example. It has 4 DGPs ( Pay equal to Army Commander) & 8 ADGPs.The 1990 batch officers are ADGPs and drawing pay equal to a Corps Commander. The state has one IG,one DIG and 5 Armed Police Battalions at Maduban ( Karnal) and yet, it had to ask for Army columns when the time came. The Police Range earlier headed by a DIG is now headed by an IG and there are four police Rgs (Karnal,Rohtak,Hissar & South). Beside , there are three police commissionarates, (Ambala- Panchlula, Gurgaon & Faridabad) headed by the Commissioners (DIG rank officers).The SCRB (State Crime Record Bureau) is headed by an officer of ADGP rank, over paid but under employed. With so many highly paid IPS lot, the law and order had to be restored by Army Columns led by Majors/ Lieutenant Colonels with half of the service of these IPS Offrs. What a contrast of leadership in two organizations and yet the Armed Forces are a forgotten lot when it comes to seeking parity with their Civilian counterparts...
