TRIBUTE TO COL RAJESH MATHEWS (RETD) OF 17 GRENADIERS (MOT) & INTELLIGENCE CORPS


     I deeply regret to inform you about the sad demise of IC–36315P Col Rajesh Mathews (Retd) on 30 Sep 2024 at his native place Chennai (TN) in 72 years of age. He had some pain and was taken to MH Chennai which is very close to their house; despite all efforts by doctors they could not revive him.

     The officer was born on 28 Aug 1952 and commissioned into 17 GRENADIERS (Motorized) on 22 Sep 1974. He was transferred to Int Corps, he was served in various Int Units, NCC and part of IPKF. It’s a great loss to the Int Corps Veterans community and Palm Groves Veterans. He was very helpful to all whenever he was approached and had a great sense of humor with his witty and frank views. He retired from his service on 31 Aug 2005 and after retirement he joined G-4 Security

     Lt Gen Sanjay Mitra, AVSM, Col The GRENADIERS and the entire GRENADIER fraternity convey our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and pray to the Almighty to bestow them strength and courage to bear this irreparable loss with fortitude. We also pray to God to grant eternal peace to the departed soul.
