New Delhi, Sept 28: The ministry of Defense on Wednesday announced Lt General Anil Chauhan (Retired) has been appointed as the next Chief of Defence Staff (CDS).

The ministry of defense informed that in a career spanning over nearly 40 years, Lt Gen Anil Chauhan (Retd) had held several command, staff and instrumental appointments and had extensive experience in counter-insurgency operations in Jammu and Kashmir and North-East India. Earlier, the Government of India has notified new rules to appoint the chief of defence staff. The next Chief Of Defence Staff could be anyone from the three serving chiefs, any serving three-star officer, any retired chief who is below 62 or any retired three-star officer also below the same age. Chief of Defense Staff- Bipin Rawat The position of India's Chief of Defence Staff remained vacant after an air force helicopter crash killed India's military chief Bipin Rawat and 13 other people. The military court attributed the helicopter crash that killed Rawat and his wife to bad weather conditions. The helicopter was flying through a valley last month with Gen. Bipin Rawat, his wife and 12 other army and air force personnel on board when a change in weather led the pilot to fly into clouds, the court of inquiry said. |
