8th Sept.

Completed pranayam, some asans, exercises and 45 minute brisk walk. Attended annual meeting of Central IPS Association, held immediately after the valedictory session of DsG/IsG conference at Vgyan Bhavan. Not a single officer of the serving DG rank attended. At the end of the conference ,while all of them walked away, some young, enthusiastic Is.G & DIs.GP stayed back and forcefully discussed issues affecting the service. I was the only retired DGP who attended the meeting of the Association.I did not  get any invitation/information from the Association. In fact I inquired from DG ITBP about the date and time of the dinner.  He directed his DIG personnel to find out. Later I got a SMS about the date, venue, time  of dinner from Sh. Binod Kumar Singh, Joint Sec. CIPSA. Again I enquired about the Annual meeting CIPSA. He then informed me about the meeting. Surprisingly no intimation is given to any CPO or Association of Sr. Retd. IPS Officers about the dinner as also the meeting. Because of this lapse no Sr. Officer of the rank of DGP attended the meeting. I raised my hand to speak in the meeting. All on the dais saw my hand but did not allow may to speak. I felt as if the Association was dead. It has to be revived by all of us.
