Question map
Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched ?
Explanation
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is organized into seven commands, comprising five operational and two functional commands. The Western Air Command is headquartered in New Delhi [1]. The Central Air Command is located in Allahabad (now Prayagraj), and the Eastern Air Command is based in Shillong. However, the South Western Air Command (SWAC) is headquartered in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, not Mumbai. Historically, SWAC was established in 1980 at Jodhpur and later shifted to Gandhinagar on May 1, 1998, to enhance operational control over the western sector, including Gujarat and Rajasthan. Mumbai serves as the headquarters for the Western Naval Command and the Western Railway zone, but it does not host an Air Force command headquarters. Therefore, option 3 is the incorrectly matched pair.
