“The whole war is undergoing a great change. We are going toward contactless wars and also going towards the war against the invisible enemy. Technology is taking over at a rapid pace. If we have to prepare for tomorrow, then we have to change, Doval said.

“The entire Army will not comprise of ‘Agniveers’. As far as regiments are concerned, two things need to be understood. Nobody is tinkering with the concept of regiments. The regimental system has not ended," he said. On the involvement of coaching centres in the violence, Doval said, “FIRs lodged, accused identified, after due probe we can say who were the forces behind it. An investigation must be done and thoroughly so.”
