Earlier, in a move that has taken forces by surprise, the Government on Sunday approved a one-month service extension to Indian Army chief Gen Manoj Pande up to June 30.
Government sources said that the successor of General Pande would be appointed by the government to be formed after the results on June 4. The Army chief was supposed to retire on May 31 after a 25-month tenure. The extension comes at a time when his successor has not yet been appointed.
"The Appointments Committee of Cabinet, on May 26, 2024, approved the extension in service of Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Manoj C Pande for a period of one month, beyond his normal age of superannuation (May 31, 2024) that is up to June 30, 2024, under Rule 16 A (4) of the Army Rules 1954," Defence Ministry said in a statement.
