NEW DELHI – India on Thursday ‘removed’ Air Marshal C Hari Kumar from the post of Indian Air Force’s Eastern Air Command over failing to shot Pakistani targets and losing three warplanes.
Eastern Air Command Chief Air Marshal Raghunath Nambiar has been appointed as the new chief of Indian Air Force’s sword arm Western Air Command (WAC), reported Indian media today.
However, there are some conflicting reports about this development, some section of the local media suggested that Air Marshal Hari Kumar has retired while some insisted that he has been sacked due to the poor performance during the recent engagement with Pakistan.
Harikumar was posted as WAC chief in January 2017.
Im now hearing from Indian friends that he has retired and not sacked, good then.
His illustrious career must be mentioned in the stories of his retirement then. Good luck to the Air Marshal in his future endeavours.— Waqas (@waqas_x) March 1, 2019
The WAC is headquartered in the national capital and controls the area from north of Bikaner in Rajasthan up to Siachen Glacier and controls almost 40 per cent of the air bases of the Indian Air Force.
Air Marshal Raghunath Nambiar has been a Flight commander of a Mirage-2000 Squadron, the Senior Test Pilot and Commanding Officer of the Flight Test Squadron at Aircraft System Testing Establishment (ASTE).
