    Brig SK Datta

    1. The untimely and sudden demise of Brig SK Datta, (who was my boss as Col 'Q' at H Q 28 Inf Div at Nimu) will always be remembered as my friend, tutor and a perfect gentleman. He taught me the intricacies of staff work, how to be happy, show confidence and keep balance in crisis situation. Brig Datta was full of life and had a very imposing personality. His presence in all social gatherings always inspired others to follow him. He was very kind, had polished manners, spoke very well and enjoyed lighter side of life. He met me always with a satisfying face. He inspired me to work hard and yet live like a king.

    2. His untimely demise is indeed so tragic and sad. We pray to almighty to grant peace to the departed soul and express our deep sorrow and condolences to the bereaved family.

    3. His loss will be much felt by me and the Corps fraternity. Our deepest condolences to the Bereaved Family.

    May God rest the departed soul in peace.

    In sorrow,
    Col Vinod Batra (Retd)
