Dear Signallers,
I am sad to inform you about demise of Lt Col Narasimhan, a Signals Veteran. Col Narasimhan was DCSO Madras Area during the early 1960s. He passed away on 13 Jun 11, at Chennai. He was around 93 years of age.
Col Narasimhan is survived by wife, son, Daughters, daughter-in-law and grand children.
I am also sad to inform you about the demise of Dr (Mrs) Sarada Malhotra, wife of Col SK Malhotra (20 NDA/29 IMA). She probably passed away on 4th Jun 2011, at Delhi. Col SK Malhotra is settled in Sainik Vihar, New Delhi. We pray to Almighty to give peace to the departed souls and strength to all near ones and dear ones to bear these irreparable losses. Those of you who wish to write a "Shradhanjli", may kindly send it for being posted on our weblog -http://reportmysignal-shradhanjli.blogspot.com/ The Shradhanjli be kindly emailed to - Col James Kanagaraj, The Moderator at - reportmysignalblogspot@gmail.com

PS
1. Please read email received from Brig VA Subramanyam appended below for more details.
2. You may also read an email received from Signals Adm regarding the demise of Colonel Narasimhan, a very senior Signals Veteran. Probably you may agree with me that Dte Gen of Signals can certainly do better to show respect to Signals Veterans.

Dear Chander, Forwarding a message received from Brig S Rajagopalan, (12 Tech) EME, and b-in-law of Late Col Narasimhan. Col Narasimhan was DCSO Madras Area during the early 1960s. He was around 93 years of age when he passed away. Other service details may be provided by Sigs Adm. I had informed the other elderly Signal officers in town - such as Maj Gen A Balasubrahmanian and Lt Col PR Gangadharan. Col Ganga will be 90 in a few months from now. He mentioned that Col Narasimhan was senior to him by about a year. Gen Balu knew him quite well as they served together during 1950s in Delhi. Secondly, I also wanted to inform you of the passing away of Dr (Mrs) Sarada Malhotra. She passed away - I think - on the 04th of this month at Delhi. Her husband - Col SK Malhotra (20 NDA/29 IMA) did SODE 16 with me. They got married just before the course finished during mid 1967. After the course he was posted to 1 Corps Sig Regt. He then moved to LRDE, Bangalore during 1970. Sarada did her specialisation as a DGO while they were in Bangalore. He was seconded to DRDO thereafter and much later moved to Delhi, from where he finally retired. She set up a hospital in Delhi, where she continued till her untimely demise. He is settled in Sainik Vihar. They have a daughter - Sonia - a dentist now in Dehra Dun and a son Sunil, a doctor practicing in Delhi. In sorrow-- Suby ---------- Forwarded message ----------
