Rally at Chandigarh and Formation of Action Committee
Hello Friends,
The Rally at Chandigarh was held as planned at 1100 hrs on 27 Apr 2008 in a very somber and dignified manner. My guess would be that there were about 1000 all ranks present. About 20 ladies also attended.
Homage was paid to the Shahids by offering wreaths, bouquets and flowers, lighting candles and observing two minutes silence. Considering that it was the first such Rally, the Bandobast and organization was good.
Where do we go from here. Given below are some suggestions:
An action Committee needs to be formed forthwith at all India level.
Any parleys with any one must be held by this Committee and not by any single individual. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INDEED.
An action plan should be worked out. Drafts be sent via email and suggestions asked. It is crucial to work out a strategy. What to put across and what to accept if offered and at what stage. Often the Generals have failed the world over in closing a war having won it!! We must dig in our heels and not accept any thing short of what is decided upon.
The action Committee must have adequate representation of JCOs and OR/equivalents. THIS IS AGAIN CRITICAL. It should not become officer heavy body.
We the Corps of Signals veterans have in place two networks already, which can be used for dissemination of information.
www.reportmysignal.blogspot.com and Report my Signal email Forum run ably by Brig CS Kamboj, VSM.
Based on above norms, more suggestions can come forward to look at the way ahead. Kindly forward these inputs to other officers/ JCOs/ OR you know. Thanks and Regards.
