It is sad to learn about demise of Col Avtar Singh. One of the finest soul I have come across in my life who extended great respect to his peers, equals and subordinates. He was a work horse. His first attraction was always 'SIGNALS'.

Please convey our deepest condolences to Mrs Avtar Singh and his children and we pray to the Almighty God to grant them strength to bear this abominable loss. We miss a seasoned veteran.
