The report has recommended the disbanding of the Directorate General of Defence Estates (DGDE) in its current shape and the transfer of its functions, activities and expert manpower to the land directorates of the Service headquarters, DRDO and MoD because of its "negligible and negative" role in managing the defence land. It stated that land outside cantonments was ``not being utilized for defence purposes" and called for an immediate inquiry to ascertain how the land was being used. So far, there has been no comprehensive internal audit on land utilization by the defence accounts department.
I think this is need of the hour to free Armed Forces of land scams.
