Visits
Maj Gen Satbir Singh accompanied by Col Kanwar Bhardwaj, Hony Capt Bir Singh and Hav Balwan Singh visited Bawal and Rewari area of Haryana and interacted with the ESM. There were 200-300 veterans at each place. The response was very enthusiastic. They not only promised to come for the 8 Feb rally, but also promised to bring others from nearby villages.

Tally-ho
08 Feb 2009, 1100 hours at Jantar Mantar. Detailed modalities of action are being firmed up and will follow. The only detail unambiguously clear is that we all must participate.

Dear Chander,
It is heartening to note the growing membership numbers of IESM and the relay fast at Jantar Mantar. I also observe the mention of individual new members in your REPORT MY SIGNAL mails. I feel time has come to publish a consolidated list of members of IESM for information of all. Seeing names of their compatriots in the list will encourage non members to join and strenghthen the movement. They may then exhort others also to follow suit. Incidently I joined IESM a month ago and sent a cheque of Rs 2500 to Gen Satbir Singh.
Regards
Brig Harish C Malhotra (Retd)

Dear Chander,
There are no words to express the job being undertaken by all of you I know the job is tough as we are dealing with rather thick skinned people. Chandigarh chapter during the lunch on 22nd discussed the issue and decided that every one must become a member and try to visit Jantar mantar as and when possible. I have deposited a sum of Rs 2500 and Rs 1000 as per details given below:
Col Sukhinder Member 500 Donation 500
Col Mehndiratta Member 500 Donation 2000
The details of cheques are given below
Cheque No 176727 of HDFC dated 23 jan 09 Rs 2500 by me
Cheque no176728 Of HDFC dated 23 jan 09 Rs 1000 by Sukhinder
