Thank you Sir for this information

Respected Sir,
Western Command is in Chandimandir, but Chandimandir is a cantonment area is in Panchkula which is northernmost district of Haryana. Its my humble request that you please look into this and correct it as you have mentioned that Chandimandir is in Punjab.
The command when established was in East Punjab (Today’s Haryana). It has been updated to avoid any confusion.
