Ending weeks of speculations over the elevation
of Lt Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag – presently heading the Dimapur-based 3 Corps - the
government on Friday announced his appointment as the Commander of
strategically important Eastern Army Command.
Tipped to take over as reins of the 1.2 million-strong Indian
Army from the incumbent General Bikram Singh, Lt Gen Suhag’s promotion had come
under fire as the outgoing chief General (retd) VK Singh issued a show cause
notice to him and put a Disciplinary and Vigilance ban on him thereby stalling
his promotion.
“Lt Gen Suhag’s appointment has been cleared and in all
likelihoods he will take over as the Eastern Army Commander on Monday,” defence
officials said. The announcement has come days after General Singh lifted the DV
ban against him paving the path of his promotion.
