'Favouritism' at the top angers Indian Navy officials
August 09, 2014
There is anger and dismay among the top brass of the Indian Navy against
what is being seen as blatant favouritism in the naval headquarters, reports
Nitin Gokhale for
NDTV. The navy HQ has bent its rules to facilitate the promotion of a key aide to
the Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Robin K Dhowan, allege some officials.
A circular issued a couple of months after Admiral Dhowan took over as
the chief of the Indian Navy allows his long-serving Staff Officer
Commander Satpal Singh to be promoted to the rank of captain without
having served the mandatory time at sea.
In
other words, the officer would be able to attain the rank of a captain
without having had the experience of commanding a front line ship.
