Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will arrive in Assam on November 9 to attend the IAF’s Air Show at Lachit Ghat along the Brahmaputra River.
The Air Show, part of this year’s Air Force Day celebrations, will feature aerial displays by fighter jets, transport aircraft and helicopters. Themed “Infallible, Impervious and Precise”, the event aims to showcase the strength and professionalism of the Indian Air Force and inspire youth from the Northeast to consider careers in the armed forces.
