The appointment of two rear admiral-rank officers as Flag Officer Delhi Area (FODA) and Flag officer Gujarat Naval area (FOGNA) is understood to have been made without the consent of the MoD.
Responding to a query on the issue, Navy chief Sunil Lanba said, "We are in discussion with the Ministry of Defence and we will resolve it."
He was speaking on the sidelines of a seminar organised by FICCI on 'Building India's Future Navy Technology Imperatives'.
