PM Modi to Address Military Leaders in Kolkata
Prime Minister Modi will talk to top military leaders in Kolkata later in September.
They will discuss how to keep soldiers in the army longer, set up new command centers for different regions, and make sure everyone gets promoted fairly.
The Air Force wants a bigger role in the new command centers.
They will also look at how well Indian-made weapons did during Operation Sindoor.
It's a meeting to plan for the future of the military.
