Ex-servicemen help family get body

Mohali, May 25
Members of various bodies of ex-servicemen gathered at Fortis Hospital here today to get the body of a defence personnel released who had died at the hospital. According to reports, warrant officer Baldev Raj (64) died at the hospital, but the management was allegedly not handing over the body to members of his family because the pending payments were not cleared.

Dear Col S Sohi,
1. We are proud of You for your excellent and fabulous work and selfless sacrifice to the cause of needy ESM, their widows, children at all times.
2. We are aware that you sit in front of CSD Canteen on all Saturdays from 0900h to 1400h under a Tree Shade without even a hand fan in this scorching summer heat. This sacrifice is for the ESM community, so that ESM visiting CSD Canteen can contact you to resolve their problems. The Army Authorities i.e Western Command under whose jurisdiction the CSD falls does not even accommodate you with a small room with a table and chair or any other facility like electricity/ drinking water.
3. Hats off to you," Hamra Tuje salam". You have many feathers in you cap (Turban) since last 15 years, Keep doing good job we are with you, any contribution required call us any time. I pray to God if other ESM League also contribute One day in a week to function from The CSD canteen in remote area to facilitate ESM for easy personal contact.
4. We also pay our gratitude to the Print media for highlighting the camaraderie of ESM Community and have become source of inspiration for ESM Leagues to continue good work for the needy ESM.
With warm Regards
Col Khera (Retd)

Comment: We need more and more dedicated Veterans like Col SS Sohi to look after our brethren and their wards in their twilight years. All Veteran Officers should be dedicated to a cause and continue to help our fraternity especially the powerless and simple Jawans who continue to be exploited.
