    Lt Col Kalyan Singh

    Dear Signallers,
    I have just received a telephone call from Mrs Minu Sundaram, w/o Late Brig Sundaram, that Signals Veteran, Lt Col Kalyan Singh, 3 IMA Course, left for his heavenly abode on 07 Mar 09 (AN).

    The only details available with me at present are:
    Cremation likely around 1.00 PM at Pankha Road Cremation Ground (Opposite Supply Depot Pankha Road) New Delhi. Exact time can be known after the body is received from RR Hospital.

    Name of wife of Col Kalyan Singh - Mrs Bhupinder
    At the time of initiating this email there is no one answering this phone - probably all family members have gone to RR Hospital.

    Other close friend of Col Kalyan Singh's family keeping track of information-
    Col Madan - and Mrs Madan, Som Vihar. Mrs Madan is trying to get more information regarding exact time of cremation.

    We pray to Almighty to give peace to the departed soul and strength to all the near ones and dear ones to bear this irreparable loss.
    In sorrow-
    Chander Kamboj.

    The cremation will take place at 2.30 PM, on 08 Mar 09 at Pankha Road Cremation Ground, opposite the Supply Depot, New Delhi. (Going from Army Golf Course towards Delhi Cannt Railway Station after you go pass the Kirby Place Crossing, just before the flyover near Delhi Cantt Railway Station, take the road going to left).
    In sorrow
    Chander Kamboj
