Scams have dented Army image: Kapoor

In the backdrop of petrol, liquor, meat, cereal and other scams coming to the fore in the Army, General Deepak Kapoor has stressed that the 1.13-million force will brook no corruption among its ranks.

"There have been some instances which have brought down the image of the Army. We are concerned....we will try to maintain the image of the Army, which is held in high regard in the country," said Gen Kapoor, after reviewing the annual Army Day parade on Tuesday.

General Kapoor said soldiers must ensure that Army’s pristine image is kept intact. While highlighting the achievements of the force in counter-insurgency operations in J&K and North-East, he asked the troops to take all measures to avoid human right violations.
