\"\"New Delhi: The lack of professionalism in the Indian Army has once again come to light as an officer has died after a tank fell into a canal during a training exercise in the state of Rajasthan.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, an Indian Army tank sank in the Indira Gandhi Canal in Sri Ganganagar district of the state, killing a soldier.<\/p>\n

According to Indian media reports, two officers in the tank managed to save their lives in the accident, while one of their colleagues was trapped and died.<\/p>\n

Due to the delayed arrival of rescue teams, the soldier’s body was found far from the scene of the accident.<\/p>\n

After the accident, rescue teams and the Civil Defense Force recovered the body of the deceased officer after several hours of effort.<\/p>\n

This accident is not the first of its kind in India. Earlier, in June last year, five officers drowned when a military tank was swept away while crossing a river in the Ladakh region.<\/p>\n

In October 2022, a tank exploded during a firing exercise, killing two officers and seriously injuring one.<\/p>\n

These incidents show that there was a serious lack of safety measures and professionalism during military exercises or training in India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
