The occurrence of casualties suffered by Indian Army troops (both on the Line of Control and in hinterland) is contingent on the operation dynamics at the time and place of the Ceasefire violations, Border Action Team / Improvised Explosive Device, Terrorist initiated incident or any other type of operational contact.Out of the 201 cases as indicated in part (a), all payments have been made in 180 cases. In the remaining cases, partial payments have been made.

Requests for proposal for procurement of weapons and equipment are invited from time to time to meet the operational requirement of the Armed Forces. This is a continuous process.
