Undoubtedly, this is the real tribute to the late TIGER.
He is not only the TIGER of Cuddapah but of Andhra Pradesh.
Thoughout his career he worked most violent districts of AP. But does
not matter where the TIGER lives, it lives as a TIGER.
More importantly he won the common man's heart.
Once again I salute the great TIGER.
My deep condolences to his family.

I am
I am glad to see Umesh living up to his image. I know Umesh well from the
university days. I still remember he coming to Law college hostel to meet
his classmate, Mr D.S.P Sharma.
In fact, a day before Umesh was gunned down
by naxals, I had a long chat with him. He was a visionary.
After his unceremonial removal from Karimnagar, I saw how Umesh tolerated
the humilation. I saw how Umesh was made to sit in a small cabin like room
in DGP office -- first near the entrance and later at the first floor.
An officer like Umesh's calibre and stature had to share the toilet along
with his staff for he was denied even the basic facilities meant for an
IPS officer.
He withstood all those issues, with a smile and went on building up the
fourth floor on the DGP office that was his dream and I found him most of
the time supervising the work. Finally, when his dream was about to be
finished, he left us without having a chance to enjoy the fruits. For
those who laughed at him seeing him to sit in a dingy room on the first
floor, his newly built office and his room had become a cynosure of all
eyes. He was a man with remarkable ability. It took the entire CID
administration to complete the same place on the third floor two years,
but Umesh completed the project in just eight months that too with mere
Rs 40 lakh.
One can find such an examples everywhere from Warangal, Cuddapah to
Karimnagar. In how many officers one finds the ability to spend from
his purse for a cause which will take him to nowhere?
Even after his death, Umesh will be remembered for ever.

I think
After reading Eenadu online just now about the unvieling of Umeshachandra's
bronze statue by the CM at Hyderabad, I have visited your website and
browsed the whole thing. At the outset, let me congratulate the architects
of the website for its excellence. I think that both his siblings in USA,
being accomplished software engineers, might have been behind this fine
result. I happen to be a journalist from Tenali and even though I do not
know Mr. Umesh Chandra personally, I have been following his brilliant
career all through in the press, till the tragedy last year. It is highly
appropriate that it was installed at the very same place of his
assassination. He is a torch bearer for the future and his sacrifice will
not go in vain. I hope to see the statue personally during my next visit to
Hyderabad in November. Meanwhile, I join you all in paying my homage to the
memory of the great and noble soul - Mr. Umesh Chandra I convey my deep sense
of grief and condolences to his young wife and son, aged parents and grand
parents, siblings and all others.Yours sincerely,
