foundation stone of new GHQ in islamabad after budget

[war&peace]

Keep in mind, shifting GHQ to Islamabad will create massive choas in Traffic btw most rush hours especially morning, 2 and evening. I am stuck @ Ammar Chowk almost daily for hours around 6PM - 7PM everyday from past few days.

Generals, C.Cs, Staff majority infact 99% lives in Rawalpindi. Movement will massively halt the entire traffic infrastructure everyday especially the time span of movement from almost 30 kilometers from garrison. GHQ is not the only thing, the residency of Chief and other high command officers etc, Must say a big deal!

That's army, why are you treatinng them like civilians. They are far more organised and they don't have to do it on the working or rush hours. They can do it in the night or early morning time. Furthermore, they don't have to movie immediately. I don't think they are renting the current GHQ from anyone so they don't have so vacate on urgent basis. And army is an agile organisation that can even make changes in war like scenario and your suggestion that they can't move even in the peace time is hilarious. BTW, right now they are talking about buliding it so it will take some time to complete and may be it will be the next COAS who will inaugurate the building and shift there and I think army has sufficient time for making the shifting plan in an optimal way. I realy see no issues there. Army has to have GHQ in the federal capital ultimately.

1.PN and PAF already moved to their designated lands. ISI was already there. So it is only natural that PA should move into a custom built HQ. The only suggestion is that construct a portion of GHQ inside a dugout in the mountain next door.

2. Cost involved is peanuts. What may be an issue is the residential accn for the officers and others working in GHQ. They need to plan this, if not done already.

3. And what will be done with the space vacated at RWP? Will create furor if going to Mian Mansha or a DHA.

The comments on this thread are mostly ridiculous and shitty sorry to say as every one here is acting like a defense analyst. Some statements are like that Kiyani and Bajwa will/shall own GHQ themselves.
Most people here I believe do not know about functions of GHQ even I doubt that ordinary soldier can comment on them.
The security and strategic challenges are there and every thing requires to be modernized/evolved.

On the other hand no army in the world operates without officers. PA is the only army in the world having highest ration of high ranking martyred officer.

If the PA officers get benefits then same is case with WAPDA or any other Govt Org executives.
We should stop defaming our own army on public forum. There shall be contingency plans to cater all problems including traffic issues.

For GOD sake there doesn't have to be corruption in every project. Sorry but moving GHQ should be done. We need things in capital not in other city.
