New Delhi, May 31: Lt Gen Manoj Pande will on Tuesday take charge as the new commander of the operationally crucial Eastern Army Command that takes care of guarding the LAC with China in the Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh sectors.
In another important appointment, Lt General Ajai Singh will take charge as the 16th Commander-in-Chief of the Andaman and Nicobar Command (CINCAN) which is India’s only tri-service theatre command, officials said.
Lt Gen Singh succeeds Lt Gen Pande at the Andaman and Nicobar Command. Lt Gen Pande was commissioned in the Bombay Sappers in December 1982. In his distinguished career, he has held several prestigious command and staff assignments in conventional as well as counter-insurgency operations in all types of terrain.
The Kolkata-headquartered Eastern Command is responsible for guarding India’s border with Myanmar. Lt Gen Pande will be the senior-most Army commander when Army Chief Gen MM Naravane retires from service next year. (PTI)
