Lieutenant General Manjinder Singh, the Army Commander of Sapta Shakti Command, recently visited the Bathinda Military Station to assess the ongoing works as part of the Annual Maintenance Works Programme (AMWP). This initiative is crucial for the upkeep and enhancement of military infrastructure.
During his visit, Lt Gen Singh was briefed by the Project Monitoring Group (PMG) on the current status of construction activities and infrastructure developments taking place at the station. The detailed briefing provided insights into the progress made so far and highlighted the commitment to maintaining high construction standards.
Recognizing the importance of innovative approaches in military construction, the Army Commander took the time to review the best practices and advanced construction techniques being employed by the PMG. He expressed his appreciation for the hard work and dedication demonstrated by both the PMG and Military Engineering Services (MES) personnel, praising their exemplary efforts in ensuring the quality of ongoing construction projects.
Lt Gen Singh emphasized the critical need for rigorous testing of construction samples and adherence to established construction procedures. He underscored that these measures are vital in upholding the high standards expected of military infrastructure projects.
In conjunction with his assessments, Lt Gen Singh inaugurated the Chetak Quality Control & Works Training Centre at HQ CE Bathinda Zone. This facility is poised to play a significant role in the training of PMG personnel and others engaged in construction tasks. By offering essential training, the Chetak Centre aims to enhance the skills and capabilities of those involved in military construction efforts.
Additionally, this centre will act as a central hub for laboratory testing of construction project samples, which will further bolster the quality and integrity of the infrastructure being developed at the Bathinda Military Station. Lt Gen Singh recognized the Chetak Centre as a valuable asset, predicting that it would significantly contribute to the efficient and high-quality execution of military construction projects, ultimately benefiting the broader defence infrastructure.
