Whereas the diehard continued serving till the day came for them to hang up their boots. During this time, many Course mates (CMs) were due to health issues, accidents and other causes and 2 minutes silence was observed  to pay respect and remember our departed souls of lost  who had departed from this world to the next one, who  left us before they were 55/ 60 yrs of age.
