‘Beating the Retreat’ an event to watch

New Delhi,Jan,28:Continuing with the tradition, Indian tunes will be the flavour of the ‘Beating the Retreat’ ceremony this year. As many as 14 of the 27 performances have been composed by Indian musicians; just seven popular tunes by foreign musicians have been retained, interspersed five times with ‘Fanfare’, a collage by Buglers, and the ‘Drummers Call’, a traditional performance by only the  drummers.

 The ceremony at the Vijay Chowk on January 29th every year marks the culmination of the four-day-long Republic Day celebrations. A total of 39 Bands from the three Services will perform at the ceremony. Out of these, 14 are Military Bands, while 17are of Pipes and Drums. Navy and Air Force will be represented by eight Bands.

The arrival of the President will be sounded by Fanfare comprising of 14 Trumpeters, 32 Buglers and 14 Echo Buglers, placed strategically along the North & South Blocks, Vayu and Rail Bhawans.

This will be followed by playing of the tune of National Anthem and a tune ‘Parameshwar’, composed by Captain Mahendra Das NK.

Thereafter, Army’s Massed Pipes and Drums Bands will play a total of six tunes, - ‘General Tappy’, a quickmarch tune, ‘Chipli Naach’, a slow march tune, ‘The Hundred Pipers’, a quick march tune, ‘Louden’s Bonnie Woods & Brass’, a strathspey tune, ‘The High road to Linton’, a reel tune and ‘Queen of Hill’, a quick march tune.

After these tunes, Air Force and Navy will play six tunes. Everest, Skylark, Rhythm of the Waves, Twilight, Renaissance and Sea Patrol.

This will be followed by the massed military bands of the Indian Army playing ‘Nakhreli Joban, Almora, Sarangi, Post Horn Gallop and Redetzky March’.  Thereafter, all the massed military bands will play the ‘Vijayee Himalaya’, after Pipe & Drums Band play ‘Drummer Call’. After that will be played ‘Abide with Me’, the eternally enchanting hymn, a favourite tune of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi.  The Buglers will retreat to the sound of ‘Sare Jahan se Achha’, penned by Iqbal, and arranged by Prof A. Lobo, before the illuminations.

‘Beating the Retreat’ has emerged as an event of national pride when the Colours and Standards are paraded. The ceremony traces its origins to the early 1950s when Major Roberts of the Indian Army indigenously developed the unique ceremony of display by the massed bands. ‘Beating Retreat’ marks a centuries old military tradition, when the troops ceased fighting, sheathed their arms and withdrew from the battlefield and returned to the camps at sunset at the sounding of the Retreat. Colours and Standards are cased and flags lowered. The ceremony creates a nostalgia for the times gone by.

Top rankers of 3rd JPSC, fail at police training camp ,Department Resends them to complete it

More than 40 per cent of newly inducted Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), who secured top ranks in the third combined JPSC examination, have not been able to pass the internal exams at the Police Training Centre(ptc), Hazaribagh.Situation is so funny that 15 out of 35 DSPs are still in the PTC as they are yet to clear some of the exams.

Goindocal had investigated and reported the situation in PTC long back that the the candidates are not so competent and so they were struggling to follow the training procedure it was came true when the exams result was published many of the DSP's failed in the examination.

They have been detained in the light of the DGP’s recent direction which made it compulsory for all the DSP's to clear all the examination before being sent for field training.

Most of the DSP's had cleared the exam, only 15  have not cleared some of the papers like riding and battle combat for which exams will be held in February. “After passing the exam, they will be sent to the field,” said IG of Police Training Centre, Hazaribagh.

The DGP has taken tough stand and directed that the DSPs under training must clear all the test before going for field training. 

This direction from DGP has been issued in order to improve the level of Police services. The candidates earlier could clear the papers in which they had failed, even after being deputed in the field.

“Earlier there were provisions to clear the exam after posting in the field, but according to the new directive of the DGP, one has to clear all the exams before leaving the training centre,” said State Police spokesperson and IG (Provision) RK Mallick.

According to RKMallick, this does not mean that the detained candidates are incompetent; just that the department wants to improve the standard of the candidates, who are being selected for the prestigious service. “This is an initiative just to improve the standard of the police service in Jharkhand,” said Mallick.

As these DSP's have to handle the functioning of the day-to-day processes of the police department, they must be aware of how supervision is done, how raid is conducted, how FIR is lodged and how the accounts department of the police department works. Hence it is important for them to clear all the exams before leaving the Training Centre, said the IG.

Mallick rejected speculations that these officials deliberately failed in some of the subjects as they are reluctant to go for field training because of the Maoist threat in some of the districts in the State. “There are some officers who are reluctant to go on posting in some of the Maoist-affected areas, but gradually they will overcome the mental block after few rounds of counselling by senior officials,” he added.

Whatever may be the reasons, the matter needs to be taken seriously as the internal examination results raise serious questions on the selection process and competence of the top rank-holders for the prestigious posts
