Dear Colleagues,
The fast continues. ESM from Uttar Pradesh have taken over charge of Jantar Mantar site.
Visit
Core Gp members – Wg Cdr CK Sharma, Commander Sharan Ahuja, Maj Gen Satbir Singh, Gp Capt VK Gandhi and Maj gen Parvesh Ranjan - visited NOIDA this afternoon. They interacted with about 80 ESM, mostly officers. 30-40 ESM became members on the spot; others collected the forms. Mrs Promilla Bhagat (w/o Maj Bhagat, ENGRS) wields influence on the media and offered to herd them for the 8 Feb rally. She also became a member of the IESM. Our deep gratitude.
Rally 08 Feb 2009
Preparations are continuing as per schedule. Calls are pouring in from various States of ESM coming to attend. Details of depositing the medals have been buttoned up with Rashtrapati Bhawan. Deputy Secretary Rana with others would receive the medals at 1530 hours on 8 Feb 2009. A small delegation of 3 or 4 ESM officers and PBOR would proceed there in a police vehicle and hand over the medals. We should ensure our medals are kept in a small polythene bag along with our personal particulars on a piece of paper. I intend to send along a letter to the Supreme Commander that we would take the medals back once our demand for OROP is met.
Media
Three TV channels– NDTV, CNN-IBN and Aaj Tak have confirmed they would be covering the rally– this is kind courtesy ESM Maj Gen Sheroo Thaplial. Dainik Jagran and Hari Bhoomi have confirmed to me that they would cover. We all should use all possible contacts and ensure maximum coverage by the print as well as the visual media.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM
