IESM Rally at Jantar Mantar on 06 Mar 2011

Dear Friends,
Jai Hind.
The ESM SITREP of 03 Mar 11 is appended below.
Once again I wish to remind ALL VETERANS in NCR, please participate in the Indian Military Veterans’ rally at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, from 10.00 AM to 3.00PM on 06 Mar 11.

We want it to be a VISHAL RALLY – and it cannot be VISHAL unless YOU ALL participate.

Do not look for excuses to miss it – be a proud Indian Military Veteran and participate.

In the past also from Lt Generals and equivalents downwards to a soldier, rating, airman and widows all have attended.
You are also one of the categories mentioned above – why should you not attend??? Shrug that shyness and dress up for the Rally.

Best way to travel in Delhi would be by Metro.
Either get down at Patel Chowk Metro Station, from where the site is 300 metres or get down at Rajeev Chowk (Connaught Place) Metro Station from where the site is 1 km.

Preferable Dress. Please feel free to wear dress of your liking, but if convenient please wear your Regimental Mufti with side cap or wear any Service insignia which will distinguish you as a Military Veteran.

It is important to impress upon the media and the public that we are Indian Military Veterans “Fighting For Justice to Defence Services” and not some ordinary people.

Site Administration. True to traditions of the Defence Services - adequate administrative arrangements for seating, water, tea, very simple lunch and toilets are being made at the site. We will make you as comfortable as we can.

PLEASE – help in keeping the place neat and tidy and ensure the tea cups etc are not littered around – be a volunteer to help us in this task.

Dear Colleagues,
As is known by now, instructions have been issued to the Army Commands to discontinue use of the acronym PBOR for our JCOs and Other Ranks as the term had derogatory connotation. We are grateful to the Service Chiefs for setting right an aberration.
As a follow-up of our rally in Damdama Jheel (Sohna District, Haryana) on 27 February 2011, 43 Veteran JCOs and Other Ranks have become members of the IESM. We extend a hearty welcome to these new members into the IESM family. The area has a high density of ESM and efforts are continuing to motivate others to join.
Looking forward to see maximum colleagues at the Jantar Mantar rally on 06 March 2011
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM
