Today, the Indian Army is celebrating the 73rd Army Day. Every year Army Day is celebrated at all Army Command headquarters in order to honour the soldiers of our country who have set the greatest example of selfless service and brotherhood.
The nation also pays tribute to the valour of the bravehearts on this day and thank them for their selfless service.
Last year, the showcase event of the Army Day was the annual parade at the Cariappa Parade Ground in New Delhi. The parade was reviewed by Army chief General M M Naravane. He will also present gallantry and other awards to his personnel.
Drones of the Indian Army carried out mock kamikaze attacks and first-aid delivery exercises as the service showcased its latest assets during the Army Day parade at the Cariappa ground here on Friday. This is for the first time drones featured at the parade that also had detachments of the upgraded anti-aircraft weapon system Schilka, BrahMos missile system, infantry fighting vehicle BMP-2, T-72 bridge laying tanks and multi-rocket launcher system Pinaka. Army Chief Gen M M Naravane conferred gallantry awards and unit citations at the event, which was also attended by Air Chief Marshal R K S Bhadauria, Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh and Chief of Defence Staff Gen Bipin Rawat.

Governor Names Military and Veterans Affairs Secretary
Governor Roy Cooper has named retired Lieutenant General Walter Gaskin to lead the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. After a career at the highest levels of the United States Marine Corps, Walter Gaskin understands well the challenges and opportunities faced by active duty military personnel, veterans and their families and he shares my belief that North Carolina should be the most veteran- and military-friendly state in the nation. I appreciate General Gaskin s willingness to serve our state in this new capacity and look forward to his leadership at the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, said Governor Cooper.

THERE has been unceasing an outpouring of tears in Magongo community in Ogori/Magongo Local Government Area of Kogi State following the violent shooting and killing of a pregnant woman by men suspected to be soldiers from the Nigerian Army. But the Nigerian Army has promptly denied the involvement of its men in the shooting that terminated the woman’s life.
The unpredicted ugly events that culminated in the killing of Mary Ikpelemoh, started around 8:30p.m on December 30, 2020 when the peace of the community was shattered by bouts of gunfire, which the natives took for knockouts sounds that normally usher in Christmas celebrations in the community.
