Following the government’s directive to discard colonial practices, the Indian Navy on Saturday announced discontinuation of carrying of batons by all its personnel with immediate effect.

“With the passage of time, carrying of batons by naval personnel has become a norm. The symbolism of authority or power pot heated through the holding of a baton is a colonial legacy that is out of place in a transformed navy of Amrit Kaal," an official statement read.

Carrying of batons by all personnel including those from the provost be discontinued with immediate effect, it added.
