Pathankot airbase head transferred

Air Commodore J.S. Dhamoon, the head of the Pathankot airbase which was attacked last month by Pakistani terrorists, is being transferred to Delhi.

Air Commodore J.S. Dhamoon, the head of the Pathankot airbase which was attacked last month by Pakistani terrorists, is being transferred to Delhi. IAF officials have described his transfer to the national capital as a “routine” one.

Air Officer Commanding (AOC) Mr Dhamoon had taken over the charge of the Pathankot air base in July, 2014 and is likely to be replaced by Air Commodore Anuj Mishra who is moving in from Bengaluru. “Any tenure between one and half years to two years for an AOC is a normal tenure. AOC Dhamoon falls in same bracket,” an IAF spokesperson said on Saturday.
