42 Artillery Division To Shift To Bassi Near Jaipur

The Indian Army has decided to shift its 42 Artillery Division, part of the Jaipur- based South Western command, from Alwar, 160 km from Jaipur, to Bassi, 25 km from here, to "increase its operational preparedness", reports Mail Today.

One of the army’s two artillery divisions, the other being 41 Artillery in Pune, 42 Artillery Division’s proximity to the headquarters would substantially increase its operational preparedness, accessibility, communication and ensure a better command and control system without interference, sources said.
