In a letter dated November 5, signed by Wing Commander Ajit Kakkar (Retd) on behalf of AFSC veterans and members, the signatories have urged the Defence Minister to reconsider the decision to transfer the land to the Land and Development Office (L&DO).

The transfer, completed on an "as is where is" basis, is part of the Centre's move to reclaim prime government land near the Prime Minister's residence. A joint survey will now establish the exact extent of the land.
