With General Manoj Mukund Naravane set to retire as Indian Army chief by April end, the ministry of defence has proposed names of four senior-most officers—one of whom will be picked for the top post. Lt Gen Manoj Pande, Lt Gen Jai Singh Nain, Lt Gen Amardeep Singh Bhinder and Lt Gen Yogendra Dimri are in the fray to become the 28th chief of Army staff. Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led appointment committee of the cabinet will take a final call from the shortlisted candidates. Traditionally, the government declares the name of the succeeding chief two to three months before the superannuation of the current chief. The idea is to give sufficient time to the new person to understand and coordinate with the present chief for the continuation of the work. Among the four contenders, two officers are from the Corps of Engineers and one each from infantry and armoured corps. Lt Gen Manoj Pande, who is vice chief of the army, is the senior-most army officer when General Naravane retires on April 30. If Lt Gen Pande becomes the chief based on the seniority principle, he will be first from the Corps of Engineers to rise to the top rank.

In war, combat engineers provide mobility to own forces by constructing bridges, tracks and helipads; on the other hand, the engineers denies the same to the enemy by creatin...
