Born on September 23, 1934, Maj Gen (Retd) Chibber joined the Army on June 2, 1955.

An outstanding officer, Maj Gen (Retd) Chibber commanded the 8 Jat Regiment as a Colonel. His expertise and exceptional strategy put him in the forefront as a brilliant officer.

After the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, he was posted in Afghanistan from 1972 to 1975 as Military Attache.

Maj Gen (Retd) Chibber made a name for himself not only as an officer of exceptional competence, but as a humanitarian, and a man of great compassion.
