Army Commander General M.N. It has been reported that either Narawane or retired Air Force Commander Pathavuria is likely to be appointed.
A helicopter crash near Coonoor in Tamil Nadu has killed 13 people, including Brigadier General Pipin Rawat. The late Pipin Rawat was due to retire in March 2023 from the post of Commander-in-Chief of his three forces.
His sudden death raises the question of who will be the next Commander-in-Chief of the 3rd Battalion.
Army chief MN Narawane is due to retire in April next year. The incumbent Commander-in-Chief of the three forces may hold office until the age of 65 years.
According to reports, MN Naravane may be the new Commander – in – Chief of the three forces, as he is currently the senior officer in the three forces.
On December 31, 2019, Naravane became the 27th Army Commander of the country. He was previously the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army and was previously the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Region, which shares a 4,000 km border with China.
He has been active in eradicating terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir and the north-eastern states. He was a member of the Indian peacekeeping force that visited Sri Lanka.
He is also expected to be replaced by retired Air Force Commander Pathauria.
