Going by the time-tested principle of seniority, the government is set to appoint Lt Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag as the next Army Chief, with his name being forwarded by the defence ministry to the Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC) on Monday afternoon, hours after it got formal clearance from the Election Commission (EC) to go ahead with the process.
A top defence ministry functionary confirmed that Lt Gen Suhag, who is currently the Vice Chief of Army Staff, has been recommended for the top post and that he would become Army Chief-designate after approval from the ACC. The ACC clearance is only a technicality and is expected within a day or two.
