On the 4th March 2019, Col Raj Kalaan left for heavenly abode and we send our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends in this time of grief. The cremation ceremony commenced at the Army Crematorium Bar Square, Delhi Cantt, New Delhi at 2 PM IST.
LA POLO prayers for his soul to rest in peace.
