Indian Defence System - Suggestions

• Joint exercise between different systems like air force & navy, army & navy and air force & army frequently every 4 months for combined efficiency, anti piracy operations, joint strength and coordination tests should be done. I am not sure why Air force did not help the Indian army in the kargil war effectively that needs to be corrected. We want to keep the defence forces independent but they need to work at times for knowing coordination mistakes, for accepting strength/weakness of each other for effective usage and delay in communication to different agency.

• More aircraft carriers with a size capable of landing aircrafts of larger size and training and joint training by air force pilots for landing and take off. Currently training are independent doesn’t improve the cooperation with Indian agencies.

• Anti missile technology deployment throughout country not only borders, but along coast and remote interior areas for strategic defence.

• Eastern and Western command ships must be made to alternate between both regions and further split into South-east, South West, north east , north west regions and direct east and direct west regions and alternated for better efficiency and understanding difficulties in each region.

• Anti pirated ships operation in Africa for strategic training and helping Indian and foreign ships. Coordination with other countries for peace operations. Army and Navy joint operations in these regions will give close war like scenario.

• Under water strategic port for defence operations to protect in case of severe emergencies in Indian ocean. Under water port to hide planes, small fast ships, etc, both in eastern and western coast.

• Why was Navy not able to protect Indian fisherman a grave mistake not corrected for several years. Strategic navy presence in southern India like Karaikal, Nagapattinam, Thondi, Rameswaram, Palk Strait. Buoys marking Indian boundary to prevent fisherman to enter into other country waters or prevent conflict with other country Navy by dialogues and friendly closure of issues on real time basis or helping Indian fisherman on needs a standard protocol to be developed for fisherman to reach Indian Navy. Preventing our fisherman from entering border nations region and monitoring from getting into trouble and guidance to them on avoiding conflict with neighbouring countries. At the last point Navy can monitor for anti national activities happening in coastal regions.

• More tsunami buoys along Indonesia, Andaman, West Bengal an TamilNadu to further improve on the tsunami warning and act quickly to save life and property and ports. The warning system must integrate the Navy also for better response and help local population or government on information. The data collected through buoys must also be collected by Navy ships in operation and share with all State governments of India.

• Most of the suggestions you might be having but try to improve for helping Indian fisherman and protecting the Indian public due to increased aggressive nature of neighbours.

• Indian Navy and Indian Air force don’t have presence in Twitter and Facebook to reach to media, youth and public quickly. Indian Army has presence already. Senior IT professionals, experience employees are not recruited in Defence agencies which is not helping public to contribute to Defence systems. Only college pass out and +2 students are recruited everyone wants to contribute create jobs which don’t require physical fitness but at least technical/skills excellence.

Airports Infrastructure Improvement

1.  New runways in high traffic airports. Creating new runways in existing airports is far viable & cost effective than creating new airports in the short run. New runways at Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi will help in long run. It might look like unnecessary but started will help in future growth. Airports are great centres of GDP growth. Chennai airport failed to open new runway due to bad planning and construction even after construction. Several initiatives in Chennai airport failed like broken glasses falling after new airport, poor toilets, poor transport in and out of airport, taxis shortage, no govt bus operation through airports, no trolleys at peak hours for passengers, no help for disabled movement only some airlines help but govt doesn’t have separate team.
2. Privatisation of airports not a necessity is a way of getting out of work by govt. of India. After spending so much spends to modernise airports we are close to nearing complete excellence in airport operations. We need to improve in certain areas. Airports and Railways are not supposed to privatised since it causes difficulty in military operations and leakage of info to other agencies. Operations and security should be with Govt of India. Certain regions like trolley, cleaning, baggage movement are only given as contracts but even airports struggle inspite of all theis because Govt is not strict with them.
3. Tourism based airports are necessary on immediate or long planning like for Shirdi temple were public need to go to Pune and then take bus to Shirdi. The direct planes will help greatly for devotees. Direct flights from Mumbai to Thirupathi will help devotees currently airlines operated only from Hyderabad to Thirupathi.
4. Helicopters service from base to top of hill station at selecting regions and popular hill stations were more public travel. Leading to faster travel and reduced traffic for high value customers organised by Govt. helicopters. Private helicopters can also be given space to operate to promote foreign tourists or mini planes for transportation will help faster movement.
5. Customs security should not be restricted to manual checking by CISF jawans. Security check by using advanced human scanners on pass through and baggage check by both aeroplane security and the CISF. Passengers from abroad entering India needs to be mandatorily complete baggage check. Currently baggage check only compulsory only for outbound passengers is done but inbound passengers can escape security by bringing drugs or violate customs rules which is a logical security failure or having partnership with their country agency can enter India without having baggage check done on entering Indian airport. This has to be changed, immigration needed to be tightened and new policies and checks in place need to be brought in.
6. Jumping from small aeroplanes for adventure is famous outside India. Govt. must provide licenses for adventure sports in India using aeroplanes.

Income Tax & Customs – New Policies for Consideration

• HRA has to be streamlined such that PAN card/Bank A/C is mandatory for all rent payment. Some people construct so many houses and then get excessive rent which is avoided by tax payers by showing that they paid less tax. PAN card of the house owner, A/C number and tenant debit A/C should be made compulsory to avoid multiple claims for same rent Or banks should be asked to create a system to payment of rent alone so that income tax department can track. Current limit for PAN card to be provided for HRA needs to be removed and made mandatory for all if PAN card not present at least bank a/c should be asked from house owner.
• Foreign trips of individuals can be tracked through Passport itself and government can come to a conclusion on expenditure based on routes travelled by checking points of immigration. Govt. must create system to track movement instead of asking to list in form 16 as too much noise was raised. Most business men who travel in/out of Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia needs to be monitored for drug smuggling. Why don’t airports check all baggage when entering into India. If the person has contacts in abroad airports he might have brought it to India but we need to check to check loopholes. Customs duty work based only on inputs and visible evidence like TV but so much severe crimes are there. All connecting flights for international flights to domestic needs to be monitored since the person might not have been checked when entering India and he would have escaped. Baggage monitoring at several airports is in control with Airlines so any mistake will lead to security issues.
• PAN card used for payment at bank terminals should be verified by hitting income tax department database to check photo/name/other details since benami transactions take place with other person numbers mentioned in challan. PAN cards used for train bookings are being used for benami as their listed in the chart. Government must ask Railway to print only partial numbers instead of full text.
• All vehicle purchase must be made to compulsory submit PAN card. Most gifts transactions are by giving vehicles to avoid tax men lens.
• Land purchases are the major benami transactions take place through these but no government has been able to control it. All land transactions if done through banking system should only be considered for approval. No cash transactions should be accepted. All land transactions through banking system using cheque will help track who purchased and then tracked to check if any black money passed through by checking ATM transactions of both buyer and seller. Land transactions registration offices need to have cameras and monitored at income tax officers also other than state governments.
• Big land owners who do farming also need to be brought under PAN card and banking preview. Large mill owners, big shots in rural areas live posh life compared to city people. Separate committee needed to bring out wealth held by certain people in rural areas.
