The Vijaynagar ALG will be inaugurated jointly by the Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Command – Air Marshal RD Mathur and General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Easterna Command – Lt General Anil Chauhan.
The duo will be landing at the Vijaynagar ALG in an AN-32 aircraft with other senior IAF and army officials.
