Dr. Karan Singh also pulled the attention of Defense Minister Rajnath Singh by suggesting him to restore the old system by returning the Jammu division to the Nagrota Corps.

Karan Singh said, "I do have one suggestion for the Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. For many years the Jammu Division was under the Nagrota Corps whose headquarters are hardly thirty miles away from Jammu. Some years ago, for some obscure reason, the Jammu Division was removed from Nagrota and placed under Western Command in Chandigarh, over 200 miles away."

"I think that the old system should be retained to ensure better and integrated dominance of the area in a militancy environment. To keep the area under constant surveillance it would be useful to enhance the strength of the troops. I, therefore, suggest that the Jammu Division be returned to the Nagrota Corps," he further added. (ANI)
