Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday will attend an event organised here by the ex-servicemen welfare department, officials said.

He will be the chief guest at the fourth edition of the Armed Forces Flag Day Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Conclave, the defence ministry said in a statement.
