Very sad to know that Prof Neelameghan is no more. I knew him well, and indeed members of his family, and had also worked closely with him when I was Research Assistant to Dr Ranganathan, and based in DRTC. It was very recently only I was told by ARD Prasad that Professor was keeping good health. Great loss to the profession! My condolences to the family.
