One killed, one injured in fire explosion at HEMRL
Prateek Goyal – Wednesday, 20 June 2018 – Sakal Times
Pune: One person died and another was injured in a major fire accident at High Energy Materials Research Laboratory of DRDO on Tuesday. Sources confirmed that the accident occurred in building No. 16 of HEMRL at around 3 pm.
The deceased worker was identified as Laxmikant Sonawane, 30, a native of Nandurbar, whereas, the injured worker has been identified as Yogesh Kirtikar, 28, a resident of Pashan. Both were working as contract labourers at HEMRL and were deployed by one Thane-based company known as Shree Gajanan Facilities Pvt Ltd.
According to sources, the accident occurred while they were cutting the gas generator’s composite propellant. “The two men were working with a hacksaw and were cutting the propellant in the explosive area. The fire explosion had occurred because of the friction while they were cutting the propellant. Sonwane, who was using the hacksaw, died on the spot, whereas, Kirtikar has received burn injuries on his hands, eyes and head,” said a source at HEMRL.
It is significant to note that both the workers were not experts in explosives and neither they were carpenters. They have not received any formal training to do the propellant cutting.
A HEMRL official on the condition of anonymity, said, “DRDO doesn’t even give compensation to the workers who die in such accidents while giving their services in these scientific projects. In the year 2015 accident, all HEMRL employees donated their salary to the family of deceased contract worker Deepak Pokale and two other injured workers.
KPS Murthy, Director, HEMRL, said, “It was very unfortunate that a contractual labour died in the accident. The actual cause of the accident will be revealed only after a detailed investigation.”
Arun Vaykar, Police Inspector, Hinjewadi police station, said, “A police team rushed to the spot immediately after the incident. We have initiated an investigation into the matter and will find out the reasons for the accident.”

Def Minister’s inquiry in DRDO’s TOT could open can of worms
Prateek Goyal- Friday, May 4, 2018 – Sakal Times
“Many old TOTs by DRDO given to industries will be under the scanner.”
The inquiry was ordered after a news report about the repetitions of TOT by DRDO at the Defence Expo held at Chennai in April.
Similiarly, in year 2013, one of the TOTs in question of an explosive device kit prepared by High Enegy Material Laboratory (HEMRL) Pune received a lot of media attention after the signing of MoU with a US-based company.
Sakal Times has found out that a propaganda of TOT was promoted in order to boost the image of DRDO after the corruption and nepostism in it was exposed by the audit report of Comptroller General of Defence Accounts (CGDA) in 2012.In order to Boost the image of DRDO Avinash Chander,the then director of DRDO in year 2013 served the old wine in new bottle and created a propoganda for reverse technology transfer to USA by forged TOT of explosive device kit prepared at HEMRL, Pune.
According to documents with Sakal Times, the patent for EDK was falsified and a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed with one South Carolina-based company – which was actually a car accessories’ company with only two employees.
Murky background
HEMRL developed the EDK technology and applied to patent it in March 1996. In February 2010, the EDK was patented in the name of its inventors – Rabindra Kumar Sinha, Jaman Singh Gharia, Usha Devi Ramchandran Nair and Hira Lal Yadav.
Despite this, HEMRL falsely credited the innovation on the name of another scientist who was not the inventor – Reny M Roy – and was sent to America. The letter from HEMRL stated that she is the team leader and her presence in USA for the demonstration is necessary.
Roy claims this is wrong information. “The team had not completed their work, it was us who made it operational. Nothing is on anybody’s name, please don’t do such things as DRDO is doing good work,” she said.
Sinha, one of the inventors of EDK, said, “We completed the project and we don’t know why our name has not come and it doesn’t affect us.”
The DRDO director in 2013, when the MOU was signed, Avinash Chander, is currently based in Hyderabad and defended his actions saying, “I am not responsible for this, I was not the head of HEMRL lab. You should ask the concerned director.”
Propaganda and repeated MOU of TOT
- 2011: HEMRL signed the first MOU with Crowe and Company, a Summerville,South Carolina-based car accessory and consulting services company with annual revenue of USD 1 lakh and has two employees. The MOU was signed between the then HEMRL director Shubhanand Rao and Fay Crow, who was the president of Crowe and company. It is significant to note that before signing the MOU with Crowe and company, DRDO signed a licensing agreement for EDK with a NOIDA based company by the name of Vantage Integrated Security Solutions-which used to deal in the assembling of CCTV Cameras
- 2012: Controller General of Defence Accounts audit reveals large scale corruption in DRDO projects and VK Saraswat, the then Director General was relieved from his services. The new Director Avinash Chander again signed an MOU with Crowe and Company in Washington DC.
- 2013:The new Director Avinash Chander again signed an MOU with Crowe and Company in Washington DC. A big function was organized by the DRDO at US Chamber of Commerce building. A dinner party was also hosted by the then Indian Ambassador to Amercia Nirupama Roy for DRDO official and family members of Fay Crowe. A delegation of a dozen scientist including Chander, Roy and Satish Naik, a Technical officer took part in the event.
- 2015: Chander was sacked by the then Defence Minister, Manohar Parrikar. DRDO team comprised Chander, Reny Roy and Satish Naik, technical officer in addition to nine officials
DRDO’s explanation
- Though DRDO claims that no explanation was demanded from them, Directorate of Public Interface (DPI) of DRDO has sent an explanatory letter to Defence Minister dated April 23.
- The letter stated that TOT’s were not repeated during the Defence Expo 2018, and that earlier the technology was demonstrated to clients and later a proposal for TOT was sent to them.
- DRDO spokesperson Manish Bhardwaj told Sakal Times, “No such inquiry has been ordered by Honourable Raksha Mantri on this matter. The news report refereed by you is factually incorrect. A rebuttal was already sent to the concerned media by the Directorate of Public Relations (DPR), Ministry of Defence.”

DRDO officials think they are entitled to waste taxpayers’ money

Shri ManoharParrikar,
Defence Minister,
Room No -104 South Block,
New Delhi-110011
Subject: DRDO officials think they are entitled to waste tax payers’ money
Sir,
DRDO officials think they are entitled to waste taxpayers’ money and if Parrikar Sahib asks then they easily convince him in the name of defence preparedness, as they are in well practices in last ongoing cases.
But they don’t know the strength of honest team of DRDO, all are watching devotedly the acts and deeds of each and every corrupt official of DRDO, may be it take few time but everyone know that GOD can do wonder any time, like Parrikar Sahib got the responsibility of Defence..
As you aware Sir, DRDO official having completion of purchasing latest vehicle for their personal use as staff car but GOI banned to purchase luxury vehicle for staff car. Here, in the name of project use for instrument and measurement equipment they manage to procure all available luxury vehicles worth corers of rupees. If you ask the list with photographs all such vehicles are decorated with red beacons and brass plate of designation of user official and they regularly use for their family ride also. Website already submitted lot of evidences, national papers also took the issues but unfortunately DRDO top officials were success to convince you this all done only in the name of defence preparedness of country.
Let see following case is perfect example of fooling the all laid down guidelines of GOI and all it is happening with help financial watch dogs PCDA (R&D). How they are closing their eyes on each and every violations of DRDO?
HEMRL, DRDO, Pune based lab used same tactics and procured an Innova vehicle in the name of “Mobile Instrument Carrier”.Toyota Innova purchased against this tender from a firm “Ms Spar Enterprises, Mumbai“.
The vehicle prepared to use as staff car for Director, fitted red beacon, but unfortunately the matter is reported by Media and an RTI request was submitted by me through PMO.
The vehicle was grounded and the BA number is not even applied by HEMRL for this Toyota Innova.
Last 8th February 2016 the vehicle was taken out without BA number from HEMRL by Shri KPS Murthy, Sc. H,Director, HEMRL and proceeds to VRDE, Ahmednagar accompanied by Cmdr S K Patel, Director, QRS. The vehicle driver was M.B. Ramgude VO ‘C and the vehicle met with accident with MSRDC bus near Krutrim Reshim Paidas Kendra around 11:45 AM, location come under Khadki Police Station, In-charge – Sh. Sushil S Kadam (Senior Police Inspector) Mobile No. 9667977777, Police station Contact No. 020-25818659 / 26208423.
The matter was reported to you on 15th February 2016, here started the DRDO official confidence to fool the country by any means. HEMRL floated a tender for repairing the above road accidental Toyota Innova vehicle again using same name “Mobile Instrument Carrier”, in fact the vehicle never used for said purpose, because there was no such requirement at all, if it was there then why they put Red beacon on it and, why hide after paper and website publish the facts and overall why they not applied for BA number till date.
The according to DRDO Transport policy following are the procedure to procure special dedicated vehicle. But unfortunately HEMRL not followed a single step of above transport policy or neither CDA objected on purchase and as well as repairing case.
Interestingly the “Mobile Instrument Carrier” used only once and two great instrument of DRDO was inside the special carrier. One Shri KPS Murthy, Sc. H & Director, HEMRL and other one Cmdr S K Patel, Director, QRS the husband famous DRDO Agniputri, Ms Tessy Thomas, Director, ASL & RCI, Hyderabad. See the weight of these two instruments.
Unless immediate action taken on culprits, this will go the way of case of Rustom2 Innova misuse by Dr K Tamilmani and his cohorts. Tamilmani after getting pension, now, happily spending life in US, while DFA M Shankar is on deputation to ISRO, and other culprit P Srikumar is in hiding. All escaped and PGD of Rustom2 Sh APVS Prasad is struggling to rectify others misuse. Hence, in HEMRL case, an exemplary action is solicited from honorable RM
So as usual hope for some exemplary action from Parrikar sahib’s office, or DRDO official again success to convince Parrikar sahib this case was done for defence preparedness of country.

Another top DRDO scientist denied extension by Modi government
by Pranav Kulkarni | New Delhi | Published on:April 1, 2015 1:49 am – The Indian Express
Two months after it sacked Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) chief Avinash Chander, the government has denied extension to a top DRDO scientist. Bikash Bhattacharya, who was on his first extension as the director of Pune-based High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), retired Tuesday. Besides him, the government in the past six months has denied extension to at least three top DRDO scientists.
While Chander was sacked unceremoniously citing the need for appointing younger scientists, the Modi government has on several platforms made public its intentions to streamline DRDO.
Sources in DRDO said the HEMRL director’s extension was recommended by Chander and was considered by the Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC). It was, however, rejected by the government “about 10 days ago”. Bhattacharya was formerly associated with ISRO.
Bhattacharya, 62, who took over as director, HEMRL on September 11, 2011 was already on one extension after he completed 60 years on March 23, 2013. As per DRDO’s existing promotion policy, two extensions are permitted for a tenure of two years after the scientist completes 60 years, the retirement age.
Bhattacharya is the fourth scientist to have been denied extension by the Modi government in the past six months. Others who were denied extension are directors of Defence Research & Development Establishment (DRDE), Defence Bioengineering and Electromedical Laboratory (DEBEL) and Electronics & Radar Development Establishment (LRDE) — M P Kaushik, V C Padaki and Venkatnarayana Raju, respectively.
The denial of extensions by the Modi government has reversed the trend of the UPA government which was criticised for making extensions a “norm” instead of an “exception”. In 2012 for instance, 11 top scientists were on extension at various laboratories across the country.
Appeal for Justice -Dr. Rohidas Gopinath Taware Ex TO’B’, HEMRL, Pune
Modi ji make a separate department to handle DRDO’s cases, grievances, corruptions cases and lot of inputs are flowing to PMO
From:
Dr. Rohidas Gopinath Taware (Ex TO’B’, HEMRL,Pune) A- 11, Vijayraj Sankul,Near Medipoint Hospital, P. Road, Aundh, Pune- 411 007. M: 9423015022, Resi.: 020-2729888 Email : rohidas.taware@yahoo.com
To Date: 10th Dec. 2014 Hon’ble Shri. Narendra Modi, Prime Minister, Room No.152, PMO, South Block, New Delhi-110011.
Subject: ‘Appeal for Justice’.
Respected Sir,
Very humbly, I submit as under:
- I, Dr. Rohidas Gopinath Taware was working as a Group ‘A’ Gazetted officer with designation Technical Officer ‘B’ in High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), Pune- 411021, DRDO, Ministry of Defence. My educational qualification is M.Sc., Ph.D., MBA, PGDEE (Post Graduate Diploma in Ecology and Environment). I have completed 27 years’ of satisfactory service in HEMRL. My entire service record is spotlessly clean.
I hail from a much respected family. My father was a Freedom Fighter and a brave soldier of Azad Hind Sena.
- I had submitted timely my grievances to Dr. A Subhananda Rao, Director, HEMRL, Pune regarding my harassment. But no cognizance was taken by him.
I made earnest ‘Appeal for Justice’ on 09.01.2008 to the Director of Personnel (DoP), DRDO, Ministry of Defence, New Delhi regarding my grievances along with supporting documents. I had written a letter on 04.05.2009 to DoP regarding my ‘Harassment by Ostracism’ in HEMRL, Pune. The DoP, too, did not take any cognizance of my grievances and harassment.
- Instead of considering the gravity of my grievances and harassment by ostracism, Dr. Arun Kumar, the Director of Personnel, all of a sudden, suspended me on 08.2009 by fax order. So, I lodged my protest on 26.08.2009 against the illegal suspension order issued by the DoP.
- There is a big conspiracy in DoP office of DRDO from my suspension to dismissal from the service. The Director, HEMRL gave false information to DoP that I was involved in “High-Handed Anti- Departmental Activities”, “the Laboratory has come to a stand still vulnerable position”, “the working of the Laboratory is badly dislocated” and “all officers are in demoralized state”.
The DoP office without any preliminary Inquiry proceeded against me and arranged for my suspension and further dismissal. Thus, the Director HEMRL and DoP joined hands against me and were bent upon to see that I was dismissed from service on 30.12.2010 for the reasons best known to them. The suspension to dismissal charges are not related to each other. Further, penalty of dismissal is horribly disproportionate to the charges leveled against me.
- The charges leveled against me for my dismissal like ‘tone and tenor of letter’ are trifling, false and fictitious.
- I wish to point out legal points regarding my suspension to dismissal which show that how the Principles of Natural Justice were blatantly violated.
- Two separate Memoranda, two separate Disciplinary Inquiries.
- Second Inquiry initiated for alleged misconduct during my suspension period when I was not on duty.
- Two separate Penalties simultaneously, First Minor & Second Major.
- Second penalty was awarded without cancelling first penalty.
- No revocation of suspension when first minor penalty was awarded.
- Second penalty of Dismissal awarded while under suspension.
- Both the penalties horribly disproportionate to the charges.
- All the orders from suspension to dismissal illegal. Approval from Rajya Raksha Mantri (RRM) taken instead of Raksha Mantri. Signatory to the orders not authorized under Art.77(2) of the Constitution.
- After dismissal order, I have done a lot of correspondence with the Competent Authority of DRDO for my illegal suspension, illegal punishments including my dismissal and for the settlement of Government dues i.e. rightful amount. But no cognizance was taken by them. This is also the intentionally harassment of me and my family.
- I had submitted ‘Appeal for Justice’ to the Competent Authority of the DRDO for my grievances and harassment. But instead of taking any cognizance, suitable action or giving any justice for the same, they have horribly punished me.
It means, ‘Asking for Justice is a Crime’ in DRDO! The Competent Authority of DRDO unnecessarily constrained me to file a various suits in the Hon’ble Courts for the Justice. After the dismissal order, I am jobless. I am highly qualified with 27 years well experienced officer from DRDO but disqualified for any service in the society because of my additional qualification is ‘Dismissal’ which was illegally and unauthorized awarded by the Competent Authority of DRDO. Hence, in all respect, this is very serious harassment and punishment for me.
- Sir, I have mentioned all the above irregularities and illegalities, involved in my suspension to dismissal, for your perusal please. I pray and request you to look in to the case and give me justice.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,

विषय : डीआरडीओ के वैज्ञानिकों द्वारा सरकार के नियमो को धता बता कर प्रोजेक्ट्स के नाम पर तकनीकी शब्दावली का प्रयोग कर महंगी गाड़िया खरीद कर उनका निजी उपयोग कर रहे है।
आदरणीय मोदी जी
यह बहुत ही खेद का विषय है की जिन डीआरडीओ के वैज्ञानिकों की तुलना आपने 20 अगस्त 2014 को पुरस्कार वितरण करते हुए ऋषि मुनियो से की थी उनमे सबसे सीनियर डायरेक्टर जनरल, ऐरो, डॉ के तमिलमणि द्वारा सरकार के सारे नियमो का मजाक बनाते हुए प्रोजेक्ट की गाड़ी का न केवल दुर्प्रयोग कर रहे अपितु औरो को भी गाड़ियों के दुर्पयोग के लिए सहयोग कर रहे है।
डीआरडीओ के संस्थान ए डी इ, बैंगलोर में प्रोजेक्ट रुस्तम – 2 के अंतरगर्त एक संस्वीकृति संख्या DRDO/02/333/P/2/Vol-II-394/D/R&D दिनाक 23/02/2011 द्वारा 5 गाड़ियां रिमोट वीडियो टर्मिनल (आर वी टी) (टोयटा इन्नोवा समतुल्य) 77 लाख में खरीदने की स्वीकृति प्रदान की गयी। (सैंक्शन डिटेल संलग्न है)
एक इन्नोवा डायरेक्टर जनरल, ऐरो, डॉ के तमिलमणि द्वारा इस्तेमाल की जा रही है। गाड़ी में डीजी ऐरो का बोर्ड लगा है। ड्राइवर आर्मी का एक हवालदार नियुक्त है। गाड़ी को देख कर कोई नहीं कह सकता की गाड़ी का इस्तेमाल प्रोजेक्ट रुस्तम – 2 में रिमोट वीडियो टर्मिनल (आर वी टी) में हो रहा है। (चित्र संलग्न है )
डॉ के तमिलमणि द्वारा भारत सरकार के नियम विरुद्ध ट्रांसपोर्ट अलाउंस लाभ भी लिया जा रहा है। (जनवरी की सैलरी स्लिप संलग्न है)
डॉ के तमिलमणि को सरकार ने सेकंड सेवा विस्तार 62-64 वर्ष भी दिया है जोकि मई 2016 तक है। परन्तु केवल भगवान ही जानता है कि डॉ तमिलमणि द्वारा देश व् डीआरडीओ को क्या प्रदान किया है। क्योंकि देश की साइंटिफिक क्षेत्र में उनके योगदान का कोई चिन्ह नजर नहीं आता है केवल डीआरडीओ के स्वयं प्रयोजित पुरस्कार ही उनके खाते में हैं जिनकी कंही भी मान्यता नहीं है। डॉक्ट्रेट की उपाधि का भी अभी अभी प्रबंध किया।
रिमोट वीडियो टर्मिनल (आर वी टी) नाम से ली गयी दूसरी गाड़ी एडीइ निदेशक द्वारा तथा तीसरी गाड़ी प्रोजेक्ट डायरेक्टर रुस्तम -२ द्वारा और सूत्रों के अनुसार बाकि की दो गाड़ियों का कोई सुराग नहीं है।
इसी प्रकार से डीआरडीओ के पुणे स्थित संस्थान एच इ एम आर एल के निदेशक श्री विकास भट्टाचार्य द्वारा भी इसी प्रकार से एक इन्नोवा मोबाइल इन्ट्रूमेंट कैरियर नाम से खरीद कर अपने इस्तेमाल में ली जा रही है। टेंडर, फर्म्स, गाड़ी का लाल बत्ती लगा चित्र, सप्लाई आर्डर संख्या आदि संलग्न है।
इन उपरोक्त तथ्यों से यह लगता है कि रक्षा लेखा विभाग का जैसे डीआरडीओ के अधिकारीयों द्वारा अपहरण कर दिया है। क्या उन्हे वार्षिक ऑडिट में यह सब दिखाई नहीं देता या रक्षा लेखा अधिकारियो ने आँख बंद कर रखी है ?
आपसे अनुरोध है की आपकी लाल किले की प्रतिज्ञा “न खायंगे न खाने देंगे” का कुछ तो असर इन तथाकित डीआरडीओ के वैज्ञानिकों पर डालने की कृपा करे अन्यथा ये इस देश के करदाताओं से मिले बहुमूल्य पैसो को अपने मजे के लिए उड़ा देंगे।
आपसे यह भी अनुरोध है कि संलग्न शिकायती पत्र को सीवीसी व् सीविओ (रक्षा मंत्रालय) को तत्काल प्रभाव से जाँच करने के आदेश के साथ अग्रसारित करने का कष्ट करें।
