The Governor of Punjab and Administrator of Chandigarh, Gulab Chand Kataria, will inaugurate the 8th edition of the Military Literature Festival (MLF), scheduled to be held in Chandigarh on November 30 and December 1. Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann is expected to preside over the concluding session.

Briefing the media here today, Lt Gen TS Shergill (retd), chairman of the MLF committee, said the theme for this year was ‘Wars under the nuclear umbrella’. Contrary to what was once envisioned, he said nuclear weapons had failed to prevent the outbreak of wars and conflicts in several parts of the world as was being witnessed.

The implications of Russia-China-North Korea-Iran axis on India and the Russia-Ukraine war, domains of modern warfare with regard to India, Pakistan and China, India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor and grey zone warfare in Gaza are among the topics that would be discussed during technical sessions.
