Faced with a continuing shortage of officers, alarmingly in the "fighting ranks" of Lieutenants, Captains, Majors and Lt-Colonels, the Army will now give special training to bright and passionate soldiers or jawans in leadership qualities, personality development and communication skills to ensure they can take on the mantle of junior leaders in the 12.5 lakh strong force.

A video has surfaced on social media which shows a traffic police constable roughing up a jawan with belt and sticks. However, giving clarification, sources in the police stated that the jawan was attacked after a heated argument broke between the two of them due to money issues. The viral video has once again raised questions on the behaviour of Noida Police.
