Well it is very Good and Army has now said to the old system of keeping record after getting them saved in their computers. GHQ staff has also been properly trained months before. My cousins working in GHQ have completed this training few months back. They said that work load has decreased after all the computers in the GHQ are now connected. No need to go to another office and get the required file. Now you will ask the concerned department and after getting clearance from security, file will be sent to you.


In fact old files have been put on fire. Once my friend nearly escaped fire as he realized that he is in the middle of the fire and to add some more taste to this adventure he had used petrol for burning those files.

Any source??

Any source??

I have many relatives working there in GHQ. One was even on duty the night when GHQ was attacked.

Only once in a year an employ has a night duty. And his duty came on that day. He first thought that he should not go, but when he approached his officers they said you must be there by time. So he went to GHQ while the residents of the city were staying inside their houses.
