Sudden demise of Maj Gen Gopal Das at New Delhi on 20 Apr 10 is a very sad happening indeed. Our deepest condolences to Mrs. Gopal Das and family members. We share their immense grief and loss.
He did training with Marconi in England and was one of the highly qualified technical officers of our Corps. The General held prestigious appointments in the Directorate General of Signals, at MCTE and in Commands. I had the pleasure and privilege of working under him in 1968-70 when he commanded Western Command Signal Regiment at Jatogh near Simla.
General Gopal Das was a thorough gentleman, very intelligent, soft spoken, kind hearted, helpful, understanding and God fearing. Due to such qualities of head and heart he was extremely popular. In his passing away the Corps fraternity has lost a pillar. He will be greatly missed by one and all.
We pray to God to rest the departed soul in peace.
Lt Gen Harbhajan Singh
Former Signal Officer-in-Chief and Senior Colonel Commandant
