"I have reviewed this. (Have) already given directions," he said, adding that he has given directions to increase them from 12 months to 14-15 months.

He said short tenures had come about due to addition of ranks.

Answering another query, Gen. Dalbir Singh said there was shortage of people volunteering for Short Service Commission.
