A JOURNEY TOWARDS TRUTH, PEACE .

   It has indeed been a rude shock for us to have the news of the demise of  Shri R Kasturirangan  31 Jan 21 early  morning at the age of 86+.  What is highly saddening is that he died of Covid 19 even when we were all being told that the spread of the deadly virus was waning. It is learnt that both he and his wife were simultaneously affected and he succumbed . We pray for the early recovery of his wife             Shri  Kasturi as he was affectionately  known to all had really endeared himself to all wherever he worked viz Chennai or Vellore in TN or as MM in Hyderabad in Telengana.  He belonged to the unfortunate group of August 92-April 93 and I recall his words of appreciation when at least a partial relief accrued to that pre 97 group following the Federation's efforts, though personally what he received was negligible. He leaves behind his wife ,a son and a daughter to mourn his loss and we convey our heartfelt condolences to them. OM Shanti. G.N.SRIDHARAN PRESIDENT

  The month of December in the year that has gone by witnessed the passing away of a record number of five of our dear colleagues. The last one in this unpleasant list is Shri R Thiruvengadaswamy (Retd.Asst.Secy ZO)who expired on 28/12/2020. He had completed 86 only in October 2020 . An efficient worker he was placed in the DM's scale in the last year of his service in 1994. He was a very kind  hearted simple person and would be badly missed by many. He leaves behind his  son who is working abroad. May his soul rest in peace. Om Shanthi - GN  Sridharan
