“This was with a view to ensuring that the erstwhile occupants who had to squat with colleagues to give room for the renovation return immediately to their newly renovated flats, thereby decongesting their temporary refuge in the spirit of the requirement for social distancing in the face of the ravaging COVID-19.”
While congratulating the beneficiaries, the COAS urged them to ensure adequate maintenance of the facilities.
He also said the army demanded nothing less than their unwavering commitment to duty and loyalty to constituted authority.
