Mr. Sankara Rao promised to get the issue probed.

Mysuru had a special place in the heart and mind of former Chief Minister S.M. Krishna, who passed away in Bengaluru in the early hours of Tuesday after an illustrious political career. The visionary leader not only spent a considerable duration of his student days in Mysuru, but also studied at Maharaja’s College in the city and received his BA degree from the University of Mysore in the 1950s.
