In 2013 then UPA Govt sanctioned raising of a Mountain Strike Core of 88K new troops with outlay of 64,000 crores. Process was to be completed by 2019-20.
In 2017 @arunjaitley then RM & FM followed by @nsitharaman aborted funding while CDS -then Chief Rawat looked other way 1/1

1/2 Even General Sarath Chand - then Vice Chief’s presentation-I am informed & castigation of Parliamentary Standing Committee of Defense had no impact on them.Had the MSC been raised on time Chinese would not have ventured into Doklam what to talk of butchering our brave hearts
