Ladies and gentlemen, its [it is] thanksgiving time for me. Ive handed over the charge of IG, Traffic to my successor. I wish him the best, Rath wrote in his farewell message that he shared on his Facebook profile.
Without Vaid Saab [SP Vaid], I wont have been able to put a team of officers of my choice. Without his backing, I wouldnt have got this job. Without his support, I wont have been able to do things my way, said Rath.
S.D.S. Jamwal Sir is a sweetheart. I owe him my Poonch posting (before I came as SSP Jammu). K. Rajendra tried his best to dislodge me. S. D. Sir put his foot down. He got me as his DIG as well and gave me a lot of space. Had any other IPS guy been IG, Jammu in his place, I wont have been able to deliver.
Praising IGP Kashmir Range SP Pani, and Div Com Kashmir, Rath said in his message: Swayam is a brother. He kept his resources at my disposal. In Kashmir. Baseer Khan Sir, a big thank you for those frequent meetings in your Divisional Commissioner office. And those phone calls to your officers.
