New Delhi: In a fresh set of instructions, the Army has said that those on leave have been told to extend their leave till April 15 so that they don’t return to their parent bases till the Covid threat subsides.

Also all movement of officials and troops between one location and another has been stopped forthwith. This does not mean, any change in deployment as those mandated along borders to the west and the north are at own locations. All officers attending courses at various academies are to be retained at existing station till April 15. Officials moving on transfer have been told to stay put till April 15. — TNS
