TNI AD – Cilodong, – Kepala Staf Angkatan Darat (Kasad) secara resmi membuka kejuaraan Lomba Tembak Piala Kasad Tahun 2017, bertempat di Lapangan tembak Divisi Infanteri I Kostrad Cilodong, Depok, Jawa Barat, Senin (21/8). Kejuaraan ini akan berlangsung selama 8 hari, mulai tanggal 18 sampai 25 Agustus 2017.

Kejuaraan Lomba Tembak piala Kasad ini merupakan kegiatan rutin tahunan yang diselenggarakan sebagai bagian dari evaluasi hasil pembinaan latihan prajurit dan satuan jajaran TNI AD, khususnya di bidang menembak. Dan sesuai dengan salah slogan yang sering di sampaikan Kasad kepada prajurit dalam setiap kunjungannya di satuan-satuan jajaran Angkatan Darat yaitu, “Prajurit harus disiplin, jago perang, jago tembak, jago beladiri, dan memiliki fisik yang prima”.

Tema yang diusung pada lomba tembak tahun ini adalah “Melalui Lomba Tembak Piala Kasad TA 2017 Kita Wujudkan Prajurit TNI AD Yang Jago Tembak Dalam Rangka Mendukung Tugas Pokok”. Tema tersebut

Dalam amanatnya Kasad mengatakan bahwa kita harus jujur mengakui, bahwa proses regenerasi masih belum berjalan dengan optimal, karena Tim Menembak TNI AD dalam kejuaraan internasional masih didominasi oleh para petembak lama. Oleh karena itu, melalui kegiatan Lomba Tembak Piala Kasad ini, diharapkan dapat muncul petembak-petembak baru dengan prestasi yang baik, agar dapat dipersiapkan sebagai atlet untuk Lomba Tembak internasional dimasa depan, sebagai bagian dari proses regenerasi.
“Selain merupakan keterampilan perorangan yang mutlak dikuasai, menjadi jago tembak juga harus menjadi dambaan dan kebanggaan seorang prajurit sejati, karena mahir menembak merupakan salah satu parameter seorang prajurit professional”, tegas Kasad.

5 Consequences of Driving without Car Insurance Do you own a car? Great! Does your car also have a valid motor insurance cover on it? Owning a car, while earlier classified as being a luxury, has now moved down to being a comfort. In fact, in metros, a car has almost become a necessity due to long-distance commutes. More and more of us are, therefore, buying a car. But are we also buying the mandatory car insurance policy? Every car which is to ply on Indian roads should have a valid car insurance cover, states the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. When you buy a new car, the choice of buying an insurance policy is, thankfully, taken out of your hands. The on-road price of the car is inclusive of the insurance premium for your car insurance policy. The problems arise when the policy expires after a year. Car insurance plans are usually issued for one year after which they should be renewed. If you do not renew it, you are driving a car without car insurance. If numbers are any indication, a study by New India Assurance revealed that about 70% of vehicles on Indian roads are without insurance. Is your car one among them? If yes, beware. Here are 5 consequences if you drive your car without having a valid Car Insurance policy: Be prepared to pay heavy fines Earlier, the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 governed the road safety and traffic rules. Recently, the Government passed the Road Transport and Safety Bill 2014 to replace the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Among other changes, the Bill penalizes you heavily if you are caught driving without having a valid insurance cover. As per the amendments, you would have to part with a whopping Rs.25, 000 for a light motor vehicles or Rs.75, 000 for other motor vehicles as a fine for driving without insurance. A huge fine, isn’t it? Pay losses for damages caused to third party or property In an accident, if you unintentionally harm any person or surrounding property, you are liable to pay the loss incurred. This is called third party liability. Your car insurance mandatorily covers this third party liability and spares you the loss incurred. In the absence of a valid insurance cover, you would have to bear the losses incurred. If the person dies, your liability would be very high. Read more Is third party car worth buying? Pay losses for own damage While you have to compulsorily pay losses caused to a third party, what about your losses. In an accident even your vehicle suffers damage. The costs of repairs for such damage are borne by your comprehensive car insurance policy. Without insurance, the onus of paying for the repairs is on you. With the high cost associated with the repairs of your car, a financial strain is inevitable. Read more about All you need to know about car insurance Face legal complications Besides the financial loss suffered in an accident which causes damage to a third party and/or self, you would also be entangled in legal complications if your car is found without a valid insurance cover. You would be penalized, get a challan and might even be imprisoned. Loss of No Claim Bonus If your car insurance expires and you do not renew it, besides the penalties and fines, you also lose the No Claim Bonus which you accumulated in your existing policy. Car insurance plans allow a discount in subsequent year’s premiums if there is no claim in any current year. This discount increases every year and saves your premium outgo. If you let your car insurance policy lapse, you lose the accumulated NCB and end up paying a higher premium when the policy is consequently renewed. A car insurance policy is legally mandatory and not having one results in serious consequences (as mentioned above). While a third party liability cover is mandatory, a comprehensive policy is better. The former pays only for the damages caused to any third party but the latter also covers damages incurred by you and your car. The premium for a comprehensive policy is slightly higher because of higher coverage. For instance, the premium payable for a Maruti Ritz car registered in 2012 having a capacity of 1197cc would have a third party premium of Rs.2237 and a comprehensive premium of Rs.4200 (approximately). With a slight increase in the premium you can avail a higher coverage option which covers for your damages too. Since car repairs are expensive, a comprehensive policy makes more sense even if the premiums are a little high. So do not fall a victim to these consequences and buy an insurance policy for your car today.
