Condolence Messages

Passing away of Bharat Singhji Bhaisb is a personal loss to me. Before entering into service his younger brother Laxman and myself used to prepare for this competition and at that time Bharat Singhji was DFO Jodhpur. I did not know much about Forest Service but was impressed to see his big residence and fleet of staff in his house as they were living in Grass Farm Nursery. After passing out from IFC at that time he was TA to chief conservator Sen Old IFS. Initially I thought in office he was a tough guy. Later on as the time passed I realised he was a true Forester having all the qualities of good administrator keeping personal relations and helping his subordinates. In field he was very tough and bang field staff as well as officers but after inspection we had always beer Lunch. He used to like officers who prefer to stay in Forest. We had and many of us had a close family relation. All of us know his contribution for Rajasthan Forest. May God rest his soul in peace ....Rajendra Bhandari IFS (R)
