“Evolution important for Armed Forces” : CDS

editor October 14, 2023Leave a comment

BENGALURU: General Anil Chauhan, the chief of the defence staff, has predicted that India will take over as the south's global leader, and the G20's smooth operation is a sign of that. In Bengaluru, the Air Force Association hosted the 14th Air Chief Marshall LM Katre Memorial Lecture. General Anil Chauhan was the speaker. "Adaptation and change are essential for survival. Because change is happening all around us, evolution and change are equally crucial for the armed forces as they are for any other species. I'm attempting to move these reforms along in a specific way at a given speed with the three service chiefs.A dramatic change will be necessary since we are approaching an unpredictable age. Armed forces are aware of the changes in their environment and they adjust and transform as a result. According to the Air Force, they have advanced to network-centric combat. General Anil Chauhan stated, "As far as the Navy is concerned, we have seen this mission-based deployment. He added that the opportunities themselves, which come as a surprise, are the fundamental issue we are currently dealing with. "Threats and challenges are pretty simple, but opportunities are the true issues since they arise unanticipatedly.Predicting possibilities is one of our biggest challenges at the moment. I think when things are out of the ordinary, possibilities arise. The success of the G20 is a sign that India will eventually become the global leader of the south. Who would have thought that the world would be dealing with the Israel-Hamas crisis in 8 days? That sort of ambiguity is what I was referring to, he continued. General Chauhan continued by stating that the globe is currently transitioning between two orders and that the geopolitical landscape is in flux. The global geopolitical situation is now unstable.The old system is eroding away, and the new world order's structure hasn't yet been stabilised, therefore the world is actually transitioning between two orders. Despite being a significant nuclear power, Russia's geopolitical significance will decline in the future. In terms of Russia's future, the Wagner insurrection "indicates the internal weakness and is indicative of what may lie in store," he warned. He also emphasised the current China scenario and predicted that in the future, China will become more forceful. "China currently holds a significant position in the geoeconomic international order.In the future, China will become more adamant. Of course, the interests of the Chinese, the Russians, and some other nations will then coincide. Iran and North Korea might jump on board, according to General Anil Chauhan. The Chief of Defence Staff added that the decisions we make now would determine India's status in the next 25 years, or "Amrit Kaal," the period into which we have entered. Due to the emergence of new technologies, warfare's characteristics are evolving. Most of the problems are technological in nature. We are battling new domains including the electromagnetic, cyber, cognitive, and space domains. We battle traditionally on land, sea, and the air, he continued.

editor October 14, 2023Leave a comment

BENGALURU: As part of its tax evasion investigations against some Karnataka-based contractors and others connected to them, the Income Tax Department on Friday discovered more than Rs 42 crore in cash hidden in a residential building here, according to official sources. Prior to assembly elections in five states, the searches set off a political brawl between the BJP and the Congress, which are currently in power in Karnataka. According to official sources, the department has sent out cash counting devices and more personnel to determine the total quantity of cash recovered. The searches are currently in progress. According to officials, a substantial portion of the cash was taken from a vacant apartment block in Karnataka's capital where it was kept hidden in cardboard boxes. More over Rs 42 crore in cash has been found so far, and searches are still being conducted. The department is also looking into whether this money, which seemed to be undeclared, was intended to be transferred to nearby Telangana, where assembly elections will be conducted next month. The recovery was the focus of criticism from BJP leader and former deputy chief minister C N Ashwath Narayan, who claimed that the funds were obtained from contractors as commission to finance elections in five states. "This provides proof to support the 'ATM government' charges (against the Congress government). This is the little consignment of the 'ATM government' collection that has been discovered. There are many such items.This cash has been collected. He asked more contractors to speak up about the money they had reportedly paid, adding, "This is just a sampling. Speaking to reporters, BJP leader and MLC N Ravi Kumar asserted that the money taken from the contractor's premises had a value of Rs 42 crore and that it was kept there in 23 boxes of notes with a value of Rs 500. He claimed that there was talk in the city that the funds were raised for the Telangana elections and claimed they were funds obtained as "commission" to pay off contractors' outstanding debts to the government totaling Rs 650 crore. Ravi Kumar wanted an investigation. Similar accusations have been made against the in charge Congress by a number of senior BJP leaders. Siddaramaiah, the chief minister of Karnataka, rejected the "baseless" accusations and declared that "no state (unit of Congress) will ask (for money). We won't also give it... Do you have a copy? Has the money handed to other states been viewed by the BJP members who are making the accusations? What justifies making such unfounded claims? When asked about the I-T searches, Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar responded, "Without politics, I-T won't come. Politics is what is taking place. We are also aware of what is going on in Telangana, Chhattisgarh, and other states. Nothing will occur when the BJP is in power; when it is not, these things occur.D Kempanna, the president of the Karnataka State Contractors' Association, was questioned regarding rumours that thousands of rupees in cash had been found in one of the organization's office holders' homes. He said that the contractor had various other enterprises, including farming and stone crushing, and had not been involved in any contract work for eight years. He emphasised that the law would run its course. [caption id="attachment_3955" align="alignnone" width="300"] IT dept recovers over Rs…
