The Punjab Cabinet on Wednesday paid tributes to Marshal of the Indian Air Force Arjan Singh saying that he excelled not only as a soldier but also as an advisor to the Government. The entire Cabinet, which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, stood in silence for a minute as a mark of respect to the hero of 1965 India-Pakistan war, who died in Delhi earlier this week at the age of 98. The Chief Minister, lauding the courage, grit and determination of the only Air Force officer to be promoted to five-star rank, said that he would always cherish the memory when the former Chief of the Air Staff released one of his books on military history.
