General Thimmaiah's birthday celebrated in a special way

Madikeri, Mar. 26: Madikeri FMC - G.T. Foundation is preparing to celebrate the 120th birth anniversary of the brave soldier General K.S. Thimmaiah on March 31 in a special way, said Puttari Pappu Thimmaiah, the convener of the organization.

Speaking at a press conference in Madikeri, he said that Virajpet constituency MLA A.S. Ponnanna, who noticed the fact that the birthdays and death anniversary of F.M. K.M. Cariappa and J. Thimmaiah were not celebrated properly and the poor condition of their memorials, has voluntarily come forward to work in this regard. He said that a like-minded committee has been formed to organize programs in memory of the soldiers, and MLA Ponnanna is the president.

He informed that it has been decided to celebrate the birthday meaningfully in the old age homes and orphanages of Kodagu on March 31st and preparations have already begun. Pappu Thimmaiah requested that immoral activities are taking place in the area where the K.M. Cariappa statue is located near the city's Sudarshana Circle, and the police department should arrange security in that area.

Another convener, Chotteyanda Sanju Kaverappa, expressed dissatisfaction that the municipal council has failed to properly maintain the statues of the two great soldiers. The birthdays of K.M. Cariappa and J. Thimmaiah should be celebrated in every household. He said that this should be a way to create awareness among the current generation about the two heroes of Kodagu.

Thelapanda Subbaiah, co-convener of the organization, said that it is a sad matter that F.M. Cariappa and J. Thimmaiah are being ignored in their hometowns. He said that the district administration should take a proactive role in this regard. Another co-convener, Changada Suraj Thammayya, said that the two soldiers are not only the property of Kodagu but also of the entire country. But it is regrettable that the people here do not know their value.

We have voluntarily done work like the birthday celebrations of the soldiers and the maintenance of their statues in the past. But the office bearers expressed their dissatisfaction that they did not get a proper response from the concerned departments and others.

Now, the FMC - GT Foundation has been started and further care is being taken, he explained. A.S. Ponnanna is working as the president of the organization, Ajjinanda Tammu Poovaiah is working as the honorary convener, Chotteyanda Sanju Kaverappa and Puttarira Pappu Thimmaiah are working as the conveners. The committee includes Amit Bhimaiah of Palengada, Vinu Kushalappa of Ajjamakkada, Anitha Praveena of Choki, Satya of Cheyyanda, Telapanda Subbaiah and Suraj Thammayya of Changada as co-conveners.
