Respected Ex- Cabinet Secretary Sir,
Reference your learned article 'Call of Duty' in the New Indian Express dated October 30, 2013 (http://www.indianexpress.com/news/call-of-duty/1188798/), I hope you are not suggesting 'setting up a strong independent authority' with a retired IAS Officer as its head! The service has already earned enough flak on account of its retired officers being 'accomodated' in cushy job.
May I request you to advocate that IAS officers should set an example and not accept any post-retirement job? The pension now being given by government is enough for leading a simple yet reasonably comfortable retired life.
Regards....KJS Chatrath
