Lt General AK Bhatt appointed as new DGMO

NEW DELHI: The government has cleared the appointment of Lt-General A K Bhatt as the next director-general of military operations (DGMO), even though it is yet to announce the names of the next Army and IAF chiefs despite both General Dalbir Singh Suhag and Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha slated to retire on December 31.

Lt-Gen Bhatt, who was commissioned into the Gorkha Rifles, will take over the crucial DGMO appointment from Lt-General Ranbir Singh, who captured the popular imagination after he declared at a hurriedly-called press briefing by the external affairs ministry that Army Special Forces had conducted "surgical strikes" against terror launch pads in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir on September 29.

Lt-Gen Bhatt, who has earlier served in the military operations directorate as a brigadier, is currently posted as the additional director general of the complaints and advisory board at the Army HQ here after he commanded the 21 Division in Assam.

India's surgical strikes: Why war can't be wished away by summoning Faiz

My granddad – my mom's dad – was a young fellow when war made him an exile. Tathya, as his youngsters used to call him, had overseen, out of his small pay, to fabricate a house in Baramulla in north Kashmir. He was exceptionally pleased with it. At that point in October 1947, tribesmen, supported by Pakistani armed force regulars, assaulted Kashmir. After the Mahura power station, east of Uri, tumbled to them, mother's family and a huge number of others needed to escape.

They would never live in that house again; when mother's family returned, they found that the house had been diminished to fiery debris. The family left for Srinagar city, getting to be outcasts in their own property.

Forty after three years, another war, this time clandestine, turned us displaced people at the end of the day. As Islamist radicals, helped again by Pakistan, started to murder the minority Pandits in Kashmir Valley, we got to be displaced people in our own nation.
