Lt Gen Dheeraj Seth to become Vice Chief of Army Staff on April 1 Lieutenant General Dheeraj Seth, currently commanding the Southern Army, will assume the role of Vice Chief of Army Staff (VCOAS) on April 1. This transition marks a significant leadership change within the Indian Army, as Lt Gen PP Singh, the incumbent VCOAS, will move to the position of Western Army Commander on the same date. Meanwhile, Lt Gen VMB Krishnan will take charge of the Eastern Army Command, and Lt Gen Sandeep Jain will succeed Seth as the new Southern Army Commander. The appointment of Seth to the VCOAS position follows a series of strategic reassignments aimed at strengthening operational readiness across key military regions. The shift in command structures underscores the Army’s focus on maintaining a robust defense posture, particularly in border areas where tensions remain high. Earlier in February, Lt Gen PP Singh, during his tenure as VCOAS, honored six Indian Army units with Unit Citations for their exemplary service. Among the recipients was the Intelligence and Field Security Unit (IFSU), which has been deployed in the strategically sensitive Leh-Ladakh region. The awards were presented on February 5, 2026, during a ceremony held in conjunction with Army Day celebrations. Lt Gen Pushpendra Singh, the then VCOAS, presented the citations to the Commanding Officer of IFSU, Colonel Jitendra Singh, and Subedar Major Mandeep Singh. The IFSU’s contributions to national security have been recognized for their sustained operations in some of the most challenging and remote areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).#lt_gen_dheeraj_seth #vcoas #lt_gen_pp_singh #western_army_commander #intelligence_and_field_security_unit

Lt Gen Pushpendra Pal Singh to be Next GOC-in-C of Western Command Lieutenant General Pushpendra Pal Singh is set to assume the role of General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C) of the Western Command based in Chandimandir. He will take over the position at the end of the month following the retirement of Lieutenant General M K Katiyar. The appointment marks a significant transition in the Indian Army’s leadership structure, with Singh’s extensive military experience positioning him as a key figure in the region’s strategic operations. Born in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, Singh has spent much of his career in high-profile roles within the Indian Army. Currently serving as Vice Chief of the Army Staff (VCOAS) since July 31, 2025, he is a graduate of La Martiniere College, Lucknow. His career has spanned diverse command, staff, and instructional assignments, reflecting his versatility and expertise across various military domains. Singh’s military journey began with his commissioning into the elite 4th Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, on December 19, 1987. Over the years, he has participated in several critical operations, including Operation Pawan in Sri Lanka, Operation Meghdoot at the Siachen Glacier, Operation Rakshak for counter-insurgency efforts, and Operation Orchid. These operations highlight his involvement in both conventional and specialized military tasks, underscoring his adaptability and leadership under pressure. His command experience includes leading a Special Forces Unit in the Kashmir Valley and along the Line of Control (LoC), an Infantry Brigade, and a Mountain Division along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Additionally, he served as GOC (9 Corps) in Yol, Himachal Pradesh, demonstrating his ability to manage complex operational environments.#lieutenant_general_pushpendra_pal_singh #western_command #chandimandir #parachute_regiment #operation_pawan

Indian Army Set for Top Brass Reshuffle Next Month The Indian Army is preparing for a significant restructuring of its senior leadership starting April 1, with several three-star officers transitioning to key operational commands and administrative roles. Among the notable changes is the appointment of Lt Gen Dhiraj Seth as Vice Chief of Army Staff (VCOAS), replacing Lt Gen P.P. Singh, who will assume command of the Western Army. Seth, currently leading the Southern Command based in Pune, will move to Army Headquarters, marking a pivotal shift in his career. Seth, an Armoured Corps officer commissioned in December 1986, has held multiple command and staff positions throughout his service. Before his tenure at Southern Command since July 2024, he commanded the XXI Strike Corps, a critical strike formation based in Mathura. His move to Army Headquarters underscores his growing influence in strategic decision-making. Lt Gen P.P. Singh, who has served as VCOAS, will take over as the Western Army Commander at Chandimandir. This command, responsible for overseeing operations along the Pakistan border, is one of the Army’s most sensitive and strategically important formations. Singh, an officer of the Parachute Regiment’s Special Forces, will become one of the few Special Forces veterans to lead an Army Command, highlighting his expertise in high-intensity operations. Another major shift involves Lt Gen V.M.B. Krishnan, currently the Army’s Quartermaster General, who will assume command of the Eastern Army based in Kolkata. This command oversees operations along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China, as well as the borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh. Krishnan will succeed Lt Gen Ram Chander Tiwari, who has led the Eastern Command since January 2024 and will retire later this month.#indian_army #dhiraj_seth #pp_singh #vmb_krishnan #sandeep_jain

Groningen vs Ajax: Prediction, Team News, and Lineups Groningen, the club with the worst form in the Eredivisie over the last six matches, will look to end their dismal run on Saturday as they host Ajax at the Euroborg Stadium. Despite not being in immediate danger of relegation due to the struggles of teams below them, Ajax face mounting pressure to capitalize on the opportunity and strengthen their bid for a UEFA Champions League spot next season. Groningen’s six consecutive Eredivisie defeats mark a relegation-threatening slump, with the team now standing alone with the most consecutive losses in the league this season. Even ahead of bottom club Heracles Almelo, who have endured a four-game losing streak, Groningen’s form has been alarming. Dick Lukkien’s side suffered another heartbreaking setback last weekend, conceding a 96th-minute winner against Volendam despite Thom van Bergen seemingly salvaging a point with an equalizer in the second minute of added time to make it 2-2. The Pride of the North last celebrated a victory on January 16 with a 2-0 win at Heerenveen, but since then, they have failed to collect any points, falling to defeats against Fortuna Sittard, Sparta Rotterdam, PSV Eindhoven, FC Utrecht, FC Twente, and Volendam. A major concern throughout this losing streak has been their inability to protect leads, with six of those defeats coming after Lukkien’s team had gone in front, highlighting their defensive fragility. Despite their struggles, Groningen remain 11th in the league with 31 points, thanks to strong early-season form and favorable results against lower-tier teams. They sit nine points clear of the relegation play-off spot, though three consecutive home defeats leave them facing another setback against Ajax, who are chasing European qualification.#ajax #groningen #euroborg_stadium #eredivisie #thom_van_bergen

Ajax set to be without Japanese defender for clash with FC Groningen Japanese defender Ko Itakura will miss the upcoming match between his current club Ajax and his former employers FC Groningen. Fred Grim confirmed that the Ajax defender has been dealing with back issues for several weeks, having not appeared in the Eredivisie since January 24th. Itakura was on the bench for Ajax during their recent encounter against AZ. Itakura joined Ajax in the summer from Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he had spent three seasons. Prior to that, he played for Schalke 04, the club he left to join the Eredivisie in 2021. Before his move to Ajax, the 29-year-old had made 59 appearances for FC Groningen. Since joining Ajax, he has featured in 21 games. Ajax enters the match with a five-match unbeaten run, though they have only secured one victory in that span. The team faces a Groningen side that has struggled significantly after a strong start to the season. Groningen have not won since January 18th and are on a six-game losing streak. While they are not in immediate danger of relegation, their recent form has been a stark contrast to their early-season success.#borussia_monchengladbach #fc_groningen #ajax #ko_itakura #schalke_04
