NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will review the operational situation on the China and Pakistan fronts as well as progress in the much-needed integration of the armed forces during the combined commanders’ conference (CCC) in the first week of March.
The CCC, to be held at Kevadia in Gujarat with all top commanders of the Army, Navy and IAF, will come after Phase-I of the ongoing troop disengagement between India and China in Pangong Tso area of eastern Ladakh is completed this weekend.
It will also take place ahead of the impending creation of two unified tri-service commands in the shape of the “functional” Air Defence Command and the “geographical” Maritime Theatre Command this year, as was reported by TOI in December.
“The PM, for the first time in his second tenure, will address the CCC and is likely to give directions to the armed forces to be prepared to meet all challenges with greater integration in a cost-effective manner,” said a senior official.
