Dear Col,
It is all due to your efforts and recommendations of the affected users of Noida Polyclinic that Col Bhardwaj has been given another tenure waiving off the age limit. Though I have never known the Col nor visited Noida Polyclinic; yet I strongly feel that such deserving cases must be retained.
I would like to share my own experience of another such gentleman, Col Shaunkhla, OC Jutogh Polyclinic. The Polyclinic is approx 13 Km away from Shimla where a number of veterans live. He makes sure that members get their medicines in one go and if for any reason, it is NA,he makes it a point to send it to a central place in Shimla where the veteran can collect the medicine, thereby avoiding a return trip of 26 Km in a hilly terrain.
His tenure is likely to be over in Nov 2011. If feasible, we should make efforts to get him another tenure, unless the officer himself wants to call it a day.
Col D P gupta
