Under the supervision of the military, if you demobilise equipment, you need to do three things- first, you need to keep them under inventory, two, you need to have them properly stored and three, you preserve them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis practice of burning equipment doesn\u2019t make any sense. And that is why the GRP is proposing that you demobilise, and inventorise them so that you know what you have.
