DD strikes again
I write once again to point out the poor presentation of a news article on the Doordarshan website. The URL is http://www.ddinews.gov.in/International/International+-+Other+Stories/Navy+chiefs+seek+bullet+proof+cars.htm.
1. "Concerned about their security amid rising suicide attacks, the Chiefs of Pakistan's Air Force and Navy have asked the government to provide bullet vehicles to them. "
Here, one presumes the author means "bullet proof vehicles" and not "bullet vehicles".
2. "Presently, the air chief has a Mercedes car at his disposal but it is not bullet proof."
Incorrect punctuation, "the air chief" should be "the Air Chief".
3. "....on Vice Chief of Army Staff (VCOAS) Lt-Gen Ahsan Salim Hayat, who was then Corps Commander Karanchi."
I'm not sure what Karanchi is, but it doesn't sound like the name of a Corps, like XII Corps etc.. Is it the location of the Corps HQ? The officer in question did command V Corps, which is based in Karachi. I can only presume that this is a typograhical error, and also one of nomenclature.
