The Chief Minister, has promised to release the amount earmarked for the ‘General Thimmaiah Memorial’, and I do hope, this will result in “Sunny Side” being converted into a Memorial worthy of the great man himself. The CM’s utterances on various developmental projects, I am sure, isn’t plain rhetoric, since we expect him to deliver on his promises. CLN’s continued coverage of unmasking the mis-information being spread by vested interest’s on ‘World Heritage Site’ controversy, is our honest endeavour to continue to publish facts and present to our readers, the true picture. Honouring, Major M. C. Muthanna by naming the ‘Army Public School’ and a road in Jammu and Kashmir in his memory, should make every Coorg very proud, that their very own brave heart, has not been forgotten, by a grateful Nation. The people of Kodagu, are eagerly waiting for his statue to be unveiled, at the earliest at Madikeri. It is heartening to note, that schools in Kodagu are focusing also on extra curricular activities. B.V.B.K.V, Madikeri has done the District proud by regaining lost glory, of Coorg Hockey in the junior section. I do hope, educational institution’s, will emulate the achievements, of institution’s like K.A.L.S, C.O.P.S. and B.V.B.K.V.
