2. The country’s first Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat laid to final rest with full military honours, 17-gun salute at Brar Square Crematorium in Delhi Cantonment.
Why CDS was accorded 17-gun salute & not 21? Who is given a 21-gun salute? The President of India and senior leaders get a 21-gun salute during their last rites. Meanwhile, Chief of Naval, Army and Air Force staff are also given a 17-gun salute. Interestingly, a 19-gun salute is also given when a foreign head of a state visits India or senior leaders of India visit another country as a ‘guard of honour’. Just like when, PM Modi visited Dhaka, Bangladesh in March, he was given a guard of honour by firing 19 guns.
