Manohar Parrikar had to intervene to sort out a transfer case of a DRDO technician, after 2 BJP leaders took differing sides in the marital row, reports Manu Pubby.

Caught in Tussle Between BJP Leaders, Parrikar Walks Tightrope on Transfer

Manu Pubby, New Delhi:

SORTING OUT A TRANSFER CASE It appears to be a long-standing marital dispute
Minister finds time after surgical strikes to counsel DRDO technician

Defence minister Manohar Parrikar had to find time out of a busy schedule just two days after the surgical strikes into Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to sort out a transfer case involving a junior technician, after two BJP leaders took differing sides in what appears to be a long-standing marital dispute.
Parrikar, who was in Dehradun on October 1, met the junior technician -Subodh Kumar -who works with the Defence Research and Development Organisation at the Jolly Grant airport, counselling him to take up the transfer.

The reason for the defence minister to get involved is a tussle between two BJP leaders.

18-oct-et-2While one side has been in touch with the defence ministry to post Kumar out from Dehradun to Kanpur, the other side has sent representations to Parrikar to stall the transfer, citing ill health of his parents and the condition of his disabled brother.

Former Uttarakhand chief minister and Member of Parliament Ramesh Pokhriyal `Nishank’ wrote to Parrikar in September, asking him to stall the posting on the request of Kumar’s parents.On the other side is the BJP’s rep resentative from Saharanpur, Raghav Lakhanpal, who Kumar says has been in touch with the ministry to get him posted out.

“There has been pressure from Mr Lakhanpal who is known to my wife’s family to get me posted out. But my side of the story was never heard, I was asked to report to Kanpur with an assurance that I will be posted back soon,“ Subodh Kumar told ET.

The defence ministry did not respond to a detailed questionnaire sent by ET and despite repeated efforts Raghav Lakhanpal did not offer any comments. Letters and meeting records accessed by ET reveal that Manohar Parrikar is walking a tightrope in the case.On her part, the wife has alleged in her representation to the ministry that Kumar was abusive and was troubling her for the past year.et-18-oct-16

Pradip R Sagar – The Sunday Standard 25 September 2016

NEW DELHI: At a time when Pakistan is engaging in war games with Russia for the first time, New Delhi has stepped up its military engagement with major military powers of the world. After joining hands to procure Rafale fighter jets from France, the Indian Army is carrying out drills with the US and Russian militaries simultaneously.

The US military contingent represented by a Company of 5th Infantry Battalion, 20 Infantry Regiment, two Stryker Brigade Combat Team, seven Infantry Division, is already carrying out a military exercise titled “Yudh Abhyas” on the hills of Uttarakhand. The two-week long joint drill to hone tactical and technical skills in countering insurgency and terrorism in a UN peacekeeping scenario involving combined deployment at the brigade level, according to Indian army.

State-of-the-art equipment for surveillance and tracking, specialist weapons for close quarter battle with terrorists, explosive and IED detectors, as well as the latest communication equipment is being fielded by both sides.

As the Indo-US military exercise is yet to be finished, an Indian army delegation has landed in Vladivostok in Russia to participate in joint military war games. Over 250 soldiers from Kumaon regiments are being trained in Russia in semi-mountainous and jungle terrain military operations in the eight edition of India-Russia Join military exercise ‘Indra-2016’.

Engaging with the two world powers coincided with the Indian Air Force inking deal to procure 36 Rafale fighter jets from France, to give much needed superiority air power over Pakistan.

“Engaging with three world powers simultaneously shows New Delhi’s influence in the world map. World’s top militaries wanted to join hand with India, as it is a growing super-power in contingent,” said a military official.the-sunday-standard-25-sept-16

Subject:  DRDO Scientist using Army Havaldars as Bonded Labour

Sir,

You will be surprise to know that it is fashion in DRDO that scientists using Army Jawan specially drivers in their official as well as personal car. Earlier DRDO witnessed the Project vehicle  used Dr K Tamilmani, DG, Aero, DRDO and that time he engaged the Army Havaldar  driver so no one question for duty timings.

Please find some pictures of Army jawans performing duty for private vehicles. EMU, DRDO Dehradun engaged a private Scorpio in contract since few years. The vehicle is fully painted with Bharat Sarkar, Raksha Mantralay, EMU, DRDO etc. Vehicle registered in the name of KHUSHAL SINGH, UK07AR0900 [RISHIKESH ARTO, UK].

The vehicle is driven by Army Jawans but it was observed that vehicle is used for suspicious covert operation by private parties, like today morning at 07:43 vehicle reached at Mr D L Uniyal, Uniyal Nivas, Danda, Dharampur, Dehradun. The vehicle Driver was Hav Rakesh Sharma, posted at EMU, DRDO, Dehradun. He picked Mr Uniyal at 07:46 and moved out to Dehradun. Vehicle crossed Uttarakhand border 08:17 and stopped at Dat Kali Mandir. Antother vehicle Tata Maza driving by CHM Tajindra Singh joined and moved 08:30. As per sources both vehicle going to parental village (Muzaffar nagar, UP) of Dr D P Singh, Scientist ‘G’ who is heading EMU, DRDO, Dehradun since 10 Years. Both vehicles full of relative and friends of Dr D P Singh, Scientist ‘G’.

Sir, this not the first occasion as Army Jawans he is using these Army personal in all his family and his friends, relative assignment without seeing the time.

I want to know why our tax money will utilized by these lecherous DRDO scientist and over to this they are using our respected Jawans as bonded labours.

The both vehicle will return by today late night from Muzaffarnagar, UP. The Drivers having mobile phones

  1. CHM Tajendra Singh – 9411707233
  2. Hav Rakesh Sharma – 8954061889

Hope you will see the matter and these Jawans will get rid from DRDO’s slavery

DMSRDE – Second Fact Finding Inquiry Committee 9th & 10th July 2014

2 Comments

It seems DRDO take U –turn in DMSRDE corruption cases. Shri AvinashChander , DGR&D and SA to RM constituted second four members  FFIC under Chairmanship of Dr. D C Pande, Outstanding Scientist, LRDE, Bangalore  and members Shri Haribabu Srivastva, Director, LASTEC, New Delhi, Shri R S Mehta, Joint Director, Dte of Vigilance& Security, DRDO Hqrs, Shri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’,Dte of Materials Management DRDO Hqrs  reached at Kanpur on 9th July early morning 5:00 AM at DMSRDE, Guest House, Kanpur by Rewa Express.

In deference to three members first FFIC which was led by Dr. S S Negi, Outstanding Scientist,this second FFIC did not entertained Dr. A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur. Dr.Saxena  was sent for two days leave and remained in  his government residence just adjacent to Transit Hostel’s DRTC Room where whole FFI was  conducted for two days by FFIC.

The first FFIC Committee did their inquiry under supervision of Dr. A K Saxena in DMSRDE Office in the room just opposite to Dr. Saxena office so that he can monitor activities of first FFIC. Chairman & members of first FFIC tried their best to discourage complainants and in month of March 2014  all scientists were under pressure due to their APAR and coming assessment and not opened or uttered any single word against Dr. A K Saxena in front of   first  FFI Committee. The first FFI Committee overlooked the gravity of complaints to Defence Minister rather they were busy in digging the past history of complainants. They were basically misleded and managed by Dr. A K Saxena.

The letter No DOP/DS/008/M/01 dated 28 May 2014 of DOP Dr. A K Singh prepared on basis of first FFI Committee Report already exposed the nexus between Dr. A K Saxena and first FFI Committee because the without any constitution rights and ignoring the terms and condition of FFI Committee they simply recommended the transfers of both complainants with baseless and illogical reasons. It should be asked to Dr. S  S Negi, Outstanding Scientist that if on allegations of habitual  drinking one senior Scientist  may be transferred then what about the drinkers of whole DRDO right from top at DRDO HQ and bottom at 52 Establishment/Labs of DRDO. Why they have not been transferred even they are heavy habitual drinker. In fact first FFIC was  hijacked by  Dr. A K Saxena.

The two days grilling of involved scientists of DMSRDE by second  FFI Committee members especially by Shri Mehta, Vigilance, DRDO Hqrs shows some hope that the committee will help to Shri Avinash Chander , DGR&D and SA to RM and DRDO Hqrs to take one step forward towards eradicate prevailing corruption in DRDO like Dr A K Tyagi, Sc ‘G’ waiting to face CVC disciplinary proceeding against him as he also involved in corrupt practices in procurement at DIAT, Pune.

Some scientists of DMSRDE given in writing about the facts of these procurements and shows their helplessness.

Second FFI Committee also got advantage that the DRRDS result was declared and scientists who supported Dr. A K Saxena’s corrupt practices under pressure opened up and exposed the modus of oprendi adopted by Dr. A K Saxena.  FFI Committee also got inputs about nexus between M/s Manglam Trades, Kanpur (Mr.Anish Gupta/Mr. Manish Gupta) and Dr. A K Saxena in various procurement cases.

1.       Reactor case is open case that the procurement was done in coalition  with M/s Manglam Trades because all mails are the perfect evidences of corruption and DRDO Hqrs already aware that CBI, Lucknow have already got all evidences and approached MOD. Payment of Reactor case has not been made till so far even after 18 months the Reactor was installed in January 2013 at DMSRDE.

2.       The case of procurement of Laboratory Microprocessor Based Programmable High Temp.Furnace supplied by M/s   Omega Furnace Industries, Bangalore. In this case illegal Second TPC was done for recommending to make payment  to M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur.( It can happen only in DRDO)

3.       Fume Hood Chamber procurement case is open example of looting in DRDO.

Common man are waiting to see the impact of new Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji’s Government on  DRDO, as Shri Avinash Chander Ji especially mentioned in his address in last JCM that “now new government has come and the accountability is also increased”.

It is coincidence that both FFIC having chairman from Uttarakhand and Uttarakhandies are famous for their honesty and devotion in service. We hope that like Dr. S SNegi, the Chairman of second FFIC Dr. D C Pande will not be hijacked by corrupt nexus of DRDO and he will do justice with DMSRDE people.

Request for Nobel Prize Recommendation for Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur

3 Comments
To                                                                                           Date 15th January 2014
Sh Avinash Chander,
DG, DRDO, Secretary, R&D,
Scientific Adviser to Raksha Mantri,
DRDO Bhawan, Rajaji Marg,
New Delhi – 110105

Congratulations, as reported in today’s Hindustan “Daily Hindi News Paper” Director, DMSRDE, Dr. A K Saxena claimed that they developed a chemical compound which can withstand 2000 °C & more. In fact the claim of the said compound has surpassed the limit of the compound used for heat shielding of space shuttle.

The Space Shuttle thermal protection system (TPS) is the barrier that protected the Space Shuttle Orbiter during the searing 1,650 °C (3,000 °F) heat of atmospheric reentry. A secondary goal was to protect from the heat and cold of space while on orbit.

So, this website request you to become member secretary of the committee headed by top Indian chemist Bharat Ratna Professor CNR Rao with members of Honorable Prime Minister and Honorable Defence Minister and recommend the innovation of Dr A K Saxena for Nobel Prize 2014 in Chemistry.

With Good Wishes

Illegal Appointment of Sh A .K Musla, Ex Scientist ‘G’, IRDE, DRDO, Dehradun in Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Kotdwara

Leave a comment
Mr. Anil Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director,
Bharat Electronics Limited,
Corporate Office,
Outer Ring Road, Nagavara,
Bangalore – 560045

Dear Mr Anil Kumar,

BEL is backbone of our defence services and contributes in specialized system needs of our forces as well as paramilitary forces.

BEL has always been associated with DRDO in several areas and fields and the joint venture has always given great results. But unfortunately corruption is also growing very fast in our defence sector. In DRDO, you must be well aware, how in name of secrecy and R&D unlimited funds are managed. There is no accountability in DRDO and scientists are utilizing their brains and skills to fool our country’s people by applying numerous methodologies, like changing nomenclature of items, changing specifications, rotating the same items as surplus available in labs, in customizing the systems purchased at exorbitant prices. These are common practices in DRDO but with fast development of communication systems and easy access to databases these corrupt practices are starting to get exposed.

Recently after superannuation Sh A .K Musla, Scientist ‘G’, IRDE, DRDO, Dehradun joined Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Kotdwara. Please find the RTI application to DRDO and copy of reply by DRDO Hqrs. This practice is adopted by corrupt DRDO scientists; they join various institutions/ organization where commercial interests between both organizations exist. Dr W Selvamurthy (Dr in YOGA from Private Institute) has joined Amity Group as President, Amity Science, Technology and Innovation Foundation (ASTIF) and Chair professor, Life Sciences without obtaining the required NOC from government of India. Recently Defence Minister recommended CBI inquiry against top DRDO officials and Dr W Selvamurthy is one of them.

Sir, I have sent an RTI to Ms. Vanitha Bhandari, MANAGER (HR&A) PIO, Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) Kotdwara-246149, Dist. Pauri Gharwal, Uttarakhand and till date have received no communication from, BEL Kotdwara.

It is requested that if you could please look into the matter and do needful to stop the corrupt practices prevailing in BEL with the help of DRDO officials. It would be a great contribution towards a corruption free India.

Regards
