Cariappa's took over as the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army from General Francis Bucher, the last British Commander-in-Chief of India.

The PM added on twitter, “Indian Army personnel serve in hostile terrains and are at the forefront of helping fellow citizens during humanitarian crisis, including natural disasters. India is proud of the stellar contribution of the Army in Peacekeeping Missions overseas as well.”

On Friday, Army Chief General MM Naravane asserted that the Indian Army stands firm to counter any attempt to change the status quo along the country’s border, saying India's desire for peace is born out of strength and should not be mistaken otherwise.
