General MM Naravane and all ranks of the Indian Army express their deepest grief and sorrow over the untimely demise of CDS General Bipin Rawat, his wife Madhulika Rawat, and 11 other military personnel in the IAF chopper crash in Tamil Nadu's Coonor on Wednesday.
"General Bipin Rawat, India's first CDS, was a visionary who initiated far-reaching reforms in the Indian military's higher defence organisation. He was instrumental in creating the foundation of India's joint theatre commands and giving impetus to the increased indigenisation of military equipment, a legacy which will be carried on and strengthened by successive generations," Indian Army said in a statement.
