IESM: Hunger Strike at Lucknow

The Lucknow chapter of IESM duly supported by all ESM organizations held relay hunger strike on 20th and 21st October 2008. While efforts of all officers and PBOR were equally praiseworthy and in perfect harmony; the contribution and zeal of veteran Havaldar P N Srivastava merit special mention.

Despite initial inability to muster adequate strength for the proposed relay hunger strike, Hav Srivastava took it as a personal challenge for garnering large support by visiting his home town, Ghazipur and adjoining areas for the Veteran's Meet.

Hav Srivastava not only quickly established very cordial links with all veterans who had helped organize several meetings here, he also took active part in ensuring wide media coverage.

The last minute patronage, provided to the movement, by veteran Lt Col Kuldip Singh, also gave an equal– if not a greater fillup to the media interest.
