Subhash Pavuluri writes:The Most Powerful Police Officer
Ravindra Kumar writes:No doubt Late UmeshChandra,I.P.S was a honest man. Now a days no I.P.S Officers are honest like Umesh. India had lost a sincere I.P.S officer.
Bhanu Prasad Paruchuri writes:I like people who sincerely do their duties. In India it is difficult to do the same (most of the times) due to lot of external pressures/forces. One can imagine the complexity if the job is in police department. Frankly speaking there are very few people who honestly do their duties in this department, without caring the consequences. Mr. Umesh Chandra IPS, is one among them. He was incomparable: both the ordinary people (public) and other officers appreciated him a LOT for his honest services and devotion. He has done the ultimate sacrifice! His assassination is a great loss not only to his family members but also to all others. The only people who are happy with his death are those who don't have any belief in the constitution. Hope his episode inspires a lot of young people.
Nishail writes:I just wanted to say..Umesh sir was so young..he did not deserve to die..being a police officer's child I know what bureacracy can do..it is such a nasty thing..and all we can do is nothing and thats the saddest part of all..To all those people who were taken away from their families in the name of duty..a tear..and a heavy heart prays God bless their souls.
Sankar Bandi writes:I am one of his admirers all time writing from Rochester, Minnesota, USA, basically from Pulivendla, Cuddapah (Dist). I was there when Umesh Chandra came as an ASP to Pulivendla. I heard about him a lot, so one day I thought of meeting him. I was very much excited the day I met him and was amazed after meeting Umesh Chandra because he is a different person. I did not feel that I was talking to 'THE GREAT UMESH CHANDRA IPS' (who made a lot of bad people so scared that they could not enjoy a moments peace) because he was very simple, sharp, friendly and always with a nice smile on his face.I started asking him questions like how he liked the job? Why he did what he did in Rayachoti? How he felt about loosing his privacy because of the security? He laughed at me and asked me if I was a journalist? I said no. I still remember the answer today, he said: "you have to loose something in your life to achieve something". That made me to think differently about life. He was a great person, that's how I started my friendship with Umesh Chandra.
There is another incident I feel great about Mr. Umesh Chandra. I heard that from lot of people that he does not attend lot of functions because does not want to feel obligated. People start asking you to do favours with the interaction that they had with this function. I was running a computer institute at Pulivendla and I want to invite Mr. Umesh Chandra on August 15th to honor him since he was (is) a great police officer but lot of people discouraged me that he does not come. When I went and invited him, he said that he will try. I wasn't sure if he would come. On August 15, we were all gathered but at sharp 9 AM the police jeep stopped and there he was "The Great Umesh Chandra IPS", my hero. I was overwhelmed and said it was great honor sir, he just laughed. When I asked him if I could be photographed with him, he said okay. I still have that photograph with me in my album safely. As a matter of fact you can read my letter signed as Sankar B Reddy. I wrote this letter when he came as SP to Cuddapah District.
It's a great loss for the country that such a great officer was assassinated. It is an honour to pen some words about the brave young dynamic officer "UMESH CHANDRA IPS THE GREAT". My prayers are always with his family and I will be glad to be of any help to his trust.
