Dear General, I am attaching an account of Major Pancholis ill health. He served in 9 SIKH before being boarded out with 50% disability incurred due to Service hazards. It will be a befitting gesture for the Army to take care of his medical problems in whatever manner considered appropriate. It will send a very positive signal that the system cares. With best regards, Yours sincerely,
Raj Kadyan Lt Gen JP Nehra Adjutant General Integrated Headquarters of the MoD (Army) South Block New Delhi 110 011
forget their VETERANS, he is today lying in ICU of a NON ECHS EMPANNELED civil hospital at Udaipur ,suffering from a deadly form of brain cancer. 6. The ECHS extended help to him at Delhi for initial surgical intervention and follow up treatment for Radio and Chemo Therapy at their empanelled facility in NCR. But how long a Non Delhi family survives at Delhi? (As Mirza Ghalib had rightly said long back, Mana ki dilli mein rahenge per khayenge kya ?) 7. Ex Major Sujeet (Substantive Captain!) is suffering but not defeated? I met him today in ICU of GBH American Hospital, Udaipur. A rare lucid interval had flashed in his otherwise tormented and hazy brain so he recognized me and called me out by my pet name, CP. (He is my school senior and old family friend). And then tears rolled from his eyes when I told him that his younger daughter is confident to face SSB at Bhopal next week. He is not able to talk. He will relapse back to his mental state of stupor. But whenever such short lucid gaps appear (if at all they appear) then his two unmarried daughters and his beloved wife will be uppermost in his thoughts. He had a healthy respect for the Armed Forces in spite of his early severance from service and lack of alternative employment offered to him by the Nation. The daughter is determined to face SSB next week. She understands the irony and odds for her beloved father. 8. The exact dates, nature and location of Military Operations have been omitted by me for apparent reasons. Let us pray for Veteran Sujeet Kumar Pancholi and his family.
