The General said that the Army had told the government that this (Annandale ground) was the only place which is open and suitable for strategic purposes.
"That land was given to the Army on lease and it was the only place where a helicopter can land in times of an emergency," Singh said.


After the Army statement, Himachal Chief Minister P K Dhumal threatened to file a defamatory suit against the Army if it did not tender an unconditional apology for allegedly maligning the image of the government and him in particular.
