Recategorisation Trials with Explosives and Ammunition
Abstract
The Ammunitions and Explosives, although they constitute a major part of the military hardware and involve military personnel and are, in general, thought to be used and handed only by the soldiers in the warfield, they do, indeed, if viewed from a wider angle, involve quite a considerable percentage of the civilian population, whether directly or indirectly in so far as their process of manufacture, storage and transportations are concerned. They potentially pose a very high degree of risk to the process operatives, the Engineers, the people dwelling around the manufacturing units and also to the inhabitants in the surroundings of a storage area. During transportation over long distances innumerable people as well as country's valuable properties in various forms and public utilities do get exposed to the severe hazards. Hence, there is an utter necessity for paying a judicious thought to the problem and an effective action needed in their management. The potency of the explosives has necessarily to be judged rightly and safety norms decided accordingly. Handling of ammunitions and explosives need involvement of as much high technology as it should involve an improved methodology. The Explosive industry is a growing one. The necessity of this industry, their progress and development cannot, in any way, be ruled out. Development of new explosives and their manufacture is an ever demanding affair. The purpose is not for any offensive action but is positively for the cause of defence. It is a guarantee towards the security of a country and her people.
