00:00based on the indications and assurances we may like to review at that point of time.
00:07The third issue which has been brought up by Manjeet as far as the J&K is concerned
00:12that the violence level is not reducing.
00:18Here I would like to just say that the violence level is being orchestrated by the epicenter
00:27of terrorism that is Pakistan.
00:31If it is so, is the world helping us in kind of controlling this epicenter in any way?
00:40If the support is not forthcoming the way India is looking at, this kind of a terrorist
00:46infiltration will continue to be there.
00:50As of now, we have inducted 15,000 additional troops in year 2024 and that is why you will
00:58find that the violence level has gone down where we have been able to neutralize 73 terrorists
01:06out of which 60% like I told you were Pakistan terrorists.
01:11The elections if you see, the parliamentary elections, state assembly elections, both
01:18had nearly 60% plus minus voting.
01:22It means that as far as the local population is concerned, local population is going with
01:27the piece.
01:29The recruitment was only four for year 2024.
01:35That is negligible.
01:37So all the indicators which are there saying that the people of J&K are shunning violence
01:43and this violence is completely being orchestrated by our western adversary.
01:48We can move on to the next one.
02:0121, 96 and 172.
02:11Good afternoon, sir.
02:12Rahul Singh Desai from Hindustan Times.
02:14Sir, my question relates to this recent assessment by a senior general on the performance of
02:21women officers in the army, specifically limited to the Eastern Command.
02:25You said they are doing a remarkable job.
02:28Have you taken note of the concerns which were flagged by the then co-commander of 17
02:33Corps?
02:34Are there any steps being taken to kind of fix those gaps or is there a sense that perhaps
02:41it was a wrong call to give them command role without carrying out all the steps that were
02:49necessary?
02:50And the second question is also related to HR only, sir.
02:53This is related to Agnepath.
02:54You were recently in Nepal and you had talks with the Nepalese army chief and other people
03:01over there, senior people.
03:02Sir, was there any talk on resumption of Gorkha recruitment or some consensus or breakthrough
03:09on those lines?
03:11Thank you, Rahul.
03:13Next, please.
03:21Sir, Rajiv Ranjan, NGTV, sir.
03:24My question is that you recently said that the army wants to join the army not for salary
03:29but for the country.
03:31The army already takes good care of its people, even after retirement.
03:36Sir, why did you have to say this?
03:40What is the thought behind it?
04:00Hello, sir.
04:02Neelam Matthews from Sheppard Media of the UK.
04:04This is regarding the tanks.
04:06What is the status of Zoravar as of now?
04:11Details of the trials, when is the first delivery expected?
04:16And related to this itself, when is the second tender to be out?
04:22And the T-72 tanks, have they been delayed, the overall upgrades?
04:27Could you please repeat the question again?
04:29Which equipment you are talking about?
04:31I am talking about the Zoravar tanks.
04:35What is the status of it, the trials, the delivery?
04:40And also when is the second tender for the Zoravar supposed to be out?
04:46And it's all related, sir.
04:48And the overhaul of the T-72s, has that been delayed or are you taking it up now?
