In spite of a decade of relative peace, the three services of the
Ministry of Defence (MoD) - the Army, the Navy and the Air Force - are
in a tight spot even on basic equipment. Therefore, they are hoping that
the new government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address their longstanding issues, India Today reported.
After taking charge of the MoD, Defence Minister Arun Jaitley on
Tuesday held a 30-minute 'call on' with the chiefs of the three services
- Chief of Army Staff General Bikram Singh, Chief of Naval Staff
Admiral RK Dhowan and Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha.
As per the report, the three chiefs and the defence secretary will soon
meet the new Defence Minister and the Prime Minister to apprise them
about the situation they find themselves in. A final date for the
meeting has not been finalised yet.
