New Delhi, April 15: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday inaugurated Indian Air Force ( IAF ) Commanders' Conference at Air Headquarters (Vayu Bhawan) here. The conference is aimed at addressing the issues of IAF's operational capabilities in the times to come, the Defence Ministry said in a statement.
