New Delhi [India], Sept 4 (ANI): Recognising the significance of social media and role it plays in modern-day warfare, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Bipin Rawat on Tuesday said that it should be leveraged to the country’s advantage. In the wake of psychological warfare and deception by adversaries, General Rawat emphasised on imposing discipline on the usage of social media. “We have received advice that we should advise our soldiers to stay away from social media.
