Four former Chiefs of the Nepali Army have traveled to India. The four former Chiefs of the Army Staff departed for India on Thursday afternoon. The former Chiefs of Army Staff traveling to India are Rajendra Chhetri, Purna Chandra Thapa, Pyar Jung Thapa, and Gaurav Shumsher Rana, who went to New Delhi, India.

Rajendra Chhetri and Purna Chandra Thapa traveled to New Delhi on a Nepal Airlines flight at 2:45 PM on Thursday. Pyar Jung Thapa and Gaurav Shumsher Rana traveled on an Air India flight at 11:00 AM.

The Nepali Army stated that the former Chiefs of Army Staff went to India to participate in the Chiefs' Conclave for former army chiefs being held in New Delhi, India. The Chiefs' Conclave was organized in Nepal last year on the occasion of Army Day. Spokesperson of the Nepali Army (Brigadier General) Rajaram Basnet told Ratopati that the four former army chiefs went to India to participate in the 10th Chiefs' Conclave this year. He said, 'Last year we organized the conclave in Nepal; this year it is being held in India.'

Although the Indian Army sent invitations to all former military chiefs of Nepal, only four have gone there. The Chiefs' Conclave, which began on Falgun 14, will continue until Falgun 17.
