Typically, in official functions, it is observed that the eats and drinks for VIPs and jawans are different.

In a bid to maintain the operational sanctity, the Navy Chief has asked officers to avoid the use of carpets and flower pots on warships.

The Chief has asked the force to avoid garlanding or showering of petals on senior officers during official functions.
He has also asked officials to stop providing sailors to open car doors or doors for VIPs during functions until the officers are in dress no 2 with swords. (ANI)
