Adarsh scam: Suitable action will be taken against those found guilty, says Army Chief

Dehradun, Dec.11 (ANI): Army Chief General V. K. Singh on Saturday said that appropriate action would be taken against all those army personnel involved in the Adarsh Housing Society scam.

Interacting with the mediapersons after reviewing the passing out parade at the Indian Military Academy (IMA) here, General Singh said the matter was being probed and appropriate action would be taken against those found guilty as per the army rules.

Maintaining that the army had taken action against those found guilty in the Tehekla expose, General Singh said: "This time around we will also take suitable action."

Further, commenting on the incidents of ceasefire violation by Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir, the Army chief said this is not a serious issue.

"There is absolutely no need to panic. Regular flag meetings are being held to discuss the matter," he said.

Stating that no armed force of any country had so far involved women in combat role, Gen. Singh said: "As far as the question of involving women in combat role is concerned, we do not have enough women at the level of jawans."

He further said the presence of women in the army had been increased at all levels and a change in this regard might be witnessed in the future. (ANI)
