Dear colleagues,

It is sad to hear that Shri Jagga Rao had passed away. Any one who knows
him cannot forget his simplicity and dedication to the profession.
Personally, I have lost a friend and a well-wisher from my native place.
May the almighty give the strength and courage to the bereaved family
members.
