Lt Gen Mukund Naravane takes charge as vice chief of Indian Army; ex-Eastern Commander in race for top post after Bipin Rawat’s retirement

Firstpost  

New Delhi: Lieutenant General Manoj Mukund Naravane on Sunday assumed charge as the vice chief of the 1.3 million-strong Indian Army. Naravane will be in contention for the Army chief’s post as he will be the senior-most commander when incumbent Army Chief General Bipin Rawat retires on 31 December, official sources said. Before taking charge as vice chief of the Army Staff, Naravane was heading the Eastern Command of the Army which takes care of India’s nearly 4,000-kilometre border with China. He is also a recipient of the ‘Vishisht Seva Medal’ for his services as the Inspector General Assam Rifles in Nagaland and the ‘Ati Vishisht Seva Medal’ for commanding of a prestigious strike corps.
