Col. R. Dewan
Secretary OCA (India)
G.S. Gill [Rivaz 1955-65] retired as Director General of Police Himachal Pradesh on 30th June 2010 – after 36 years of an illustrious career.
OCA HP Chapter organized a farewell party on the evening of the 7th July at the Oberoi Clarkes Hotel, which was attended by many OCs and also the HM of BCS Mr. Roy Robinson.
All the best to GS Gill for the future – we understand that Gill plans to take time off to travel extensively, and do just about “nothing” for a while. Sounds like the perfect retirement plan!
