New Delhi:
The Chief Of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat and the three serving military chiefs will address an unprecedented press conference this evening.
The interaction with the media, scheduled for 6 pm, comes at a time when the whole country is under lockdown to battle the coronavirus pandemic.
This is the first time the Chief of Defence Staff – a post created by the government to integrate the three wings of the armed forces and trim the weapons procurement process – and the three service chiefs are speaking together to the media.
Last week, General Rawat had said that “discipline and patience” had helped the defense services in checking the spreading of the virus, adding that the novel coronavirus has affected Army, Air Force, and Navy in a “limited manner“.
