Dear Colleagues,
Col Kirit Joshipura, who had led the team that went to deposit the medals with the Rashtrapati Bhavan on 25 Oct 2009, had this to report:
Quote
As desired by stg com, i led the delegation of IESM to Rashtrapati Bhavan to deposit medals on 25 Oct. Col Phulka from Patiala though wheel chair bound accompanied me along with lions from Sangrur, Patiala, Barnala, CHANDIGARH AND FEW OTHER PLACES.
THE DELEGATION WAS RECIEVED AT RASHTRPATI BHAVAN WITH GREAT REGARD AND RESPECT. Normally, only police veh is allowed. But this time, they allowed Col Phulka`s pers veh right upto reception on my request. Further, we were allowed to park it just outside reception hall for 30 Mins and also photography was permitted. Col Phulka`s son took photograghs of delegation with box containing medals in the backdrop of Rashtrpati Bhavan.
While handing over the box, i enquired about progress from Mr Jairaman, who accepted medals. He confirmed that President’s office is concerned about this issue and that he would inform us latest progress within a week.
It may please you all to know that all at reception praised IESM efforts and expressed their concern at this unwarranted delay and have asked me convey their BEST WISHES to IESM.
Best part was that the one who sits at the reception desk in the reception room, said that he would ask his father, retd Sub/Maj to join IESM.
IESM zindabad

Admittedly, the staff handling the issue at the Rashtrapati Bhavan are not the decision makers. However, they can be reasonably assumed to be the wind-sock, a kind of barometer of the hierarchical attitude.
