 I also spoke to Col. Anil Kaul about the very short tenure with pittance as pension to ORs & living thereafter in a miserable condition. The Col. said this issue of ORs is close to his heart. I brought this subject to the knowledge of Col. because he was to anchor the meet and also takes up the cause of ESM forcefully, during TV debates.
