    Maj R Thiagarajan

    Dear Signallers,
    I am sad to inform you about the demise of IC 10059 Maj R Thiagarajan, Veteran.
    He breathed his last around 10.00 PM, on 21 Aug 09, at Chennai.

    Please see the email from Brig VA Subramaniam appended below, for more details.

    I have known Maj Thiagarajan, personally. He was my instructor during the OST 14 (SODE now). He was an excellent and very devoted instructor. The entire course loved him so much. As an officer and gentleman too every one liked him immensely.

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

    If you wish to write a "Shradhanjli" for Late Maj R Thiagarajan, you may kindly send it for being posted to our weblog -

    Dear Chander,
    Gen Balasubrahmanian just rang me up, to mention that Maj R Thiagarajan (20th IMA) passed away a few minutes ago.
    He was wheel-chair for quite a while, and was admitted to Sudaram Foundation for some ailment, where he passed away.
    You may recollect that he was an instructor in FCE, when you were doing the degree course.
    His wife- Indira and two daughters and a son survive him.
    Am sure Sigs Adm will have the rest of the details.
    in sorrow
    Brig VA Subramanyam (Retd)
