Dear Colleagues,
16 January has been a particularly sad day for the ESM community. On this fateful Sunday, two senior and highly respected veterans passed away in Delhi. Lt Gen Tripat Singh, 81, who breathed his last in the morning, was a renowned officer of the Corps of EME and had been the first officer from the Services to be appointed as a Principal Staff Officer (MGO). Very warm of heart he had a large following of admirers.
Lt Gen RIS Kahlon, 71, passed away in the R&R hospital in the evening. A hard core Infantry officer (GRENADIERS), he was MGO for nearly four years before superannuating. A professional giant he possessed endearing qualities of heart and was ever helpful.
We deeply mourn the twin tragedy and share the grief of the families. We all pray for peace for their souls.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM
