Proud Moment! Lady officer to lead Army Day parade for first time ever

According to reports, for the first time ever a lady officer will be leading a contingent of 144 personnel in the Army Day parade on January 15.

Lieutenant Bhawna Kasturi will be leading a contingent on Army Day, which is a first. In 2015, lady officers from tri-services led their contingents on Republic Day. This time, Lieutenant Kasturi will be leading the Indian Army’s Service Corps (ASC) contingent.

On January 15, the Indian Army will be celebrating its 71st raising day. Speaking about the honour, Lt Kasturi reportedly said, "This is the first time ever a lady officer is leading a contingent. Earlier, never a lady officer led a jawans contingent."
