Chief Medical Officer
The Brigadier is the man in charge of the military presence in the town of Shahkot. Quick-tempered and disgruntled, he often wonders why anyone should bother with the military or discipline in such a silly town. One activity that brings him joy is bird-watching, and he longs to finally spot the elusive green pigeon he’s heard so many times. To get rid of the troublesome monkeys in Shahkot towards the end of the novel, he hatches a plan to deploy soldiers all over town to fire their guns and scare the apes away.

Quotes
In frustration, the Brigadier took up his cane and, feeling grubby behind the ears, got into his jeep to visit the CMO. The CMO, despite a distinct pain in his side, had donned his Gandhi cap and set off along with Mr. Chawla to see Verma of the university, albeit by a roundabout route that gave them the benefit of a good view of the mountains. Verma himself had left his house for his customary walk to the university through the Badshah Gardens with his friends Poncha of Epidemiology and Sinha of Virology.
Thus they all missed each other and that morning, anyway, the monkey menace was not discussed by the authorities.
