New Delhi: The defence policy of the country is witnessing a major change. It is no longer in the mood to fight the war with the help of other people's belongings and weapons. Its entire focus is on increasing capacity. It can be seen in Jhansi. The Centre and the Uttar Pradesh government are celebrating the National Defence Dedication Festival here. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated the Arms Exhibition here on Wednesday. PM Narendra Modi will arrive in Jhansi on the last day of the three-day exhibition from November 17 to 19.
