Teethwal, Line of Control (LoC), June 22 (UNI) Army Chief General J J Singh today said women have an important role to play in defence services and are a source of inspiration for others to join the armed forces.

''Women have done the Indian Army proud. They have always played an important role in the Army and other defence services. They will continue to play a vital role,'' Gen Singh told journalists here after inagurating the Teethwal model village.
