Defence exposition in Gandhinagar cancelled, govt says will reschedule

MoD sources, speaking off the record, say postponement has nothing to do with "logistics problems"

As war rages in Ukraine and Russian forces push deeper into that country, the effect is being felt in faraway Gujarat, where the Government of India has indefinitely put off DefExpo 2022 – billed as “Asia's largest exhibition on land, naval and homeland security systems”– that was scheduled to be held next week.

Taking attendees by surprise, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced on Friday: “Due to logistics problems being experienced by participants, the DefExpo 2022 proposed to be held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat from March 10thtill March 14th is postponed. The new dates will be communicated in due course.”
