New Delhi: A two-day conference of the top military brass of the country has been postponed indefinitely in view of the coronavirus pandemic, military sources said Monday.

The Unified Commanders Conference (UCC) was to be held from April 22 to 23.

In the conference, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff Gen Bipin Rawat and the three service chiefs were set to carry out an overall review of India’s security preparedness, the sources said.
