Twitterati lauds Indian Army for holding inter-faith prayer ceremony

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday performed the stone-laying ceremony for the proposed ‘Thal Sena Bhawan’ of the Army in Delhi cantonment, which will bring together various pockets of the Army headquarters spread across Delhi under one roof.

Observing that there was movement of about 3,000-4,000 vehicles every day from the various Army establishments in the city, Mr. Singh said this would be not required once the ‘Thal Sena Bhawan’ comes up and would significantly reduce fuel consumption, expenses and pollution. “The new building will ensure they can work under one roof,” he stated.

Mr. Singh also stated that the newly created Department of Military Affairs (DMA) headed by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) will work from here. “This will help in jointness,” he added.
