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,
