  1. Dear Sir,
    In the course of processing pension cases,There are many from MLI and some of the cases are referred to your centre for clarifications and update etc. I would request you to give full details of Commandant, MLIRC , his e mail Id, tel No, Mob no etc and that of CRO and Dy Commandant for my records. I had called on Col Bhagwat few years back but it seems he is posted out.
    Your early reply will help many veterans.
    Regards,
    Gp Capt S S Phatak(retd)
