NEW DELHI: The all women Military Nursing Services (MNS) of armed forces are poised to get back some parity of service with other regular Army personnel, in terms of rank and dignity even while they continue to don their beige coloured uniform, a high-level defence committee has recommended in its report submitted to the Supreme Court.
The Ladies with Lamps, or the Florence Nightingales of the Indian Army, appear to have won a battle for their dignity and pride after waging a frustrating battle in the SC for the last six years, which was more marked with adjournments than any meaningful hearing.
Synopsis
The Army is finalising a court of inquiry into a bitter tussle between top two generals of the crucial Jaipur-based South Western Command. The “serious” allegations and counter-allegations range from administrative lapses and major functional troubles to even misuse of authority on certain fronts. The two warring generals withdrew their complaints against each other on Tuesday.
