Commissioner of Police Mysuru City Date: Thursday, January 8, 2015 Time: 5:00 to 6:00 pm Venue: Athena Auditorium, MYRA Talk Summary Each day has 24 hours of equivalent length but every hour is not created equal, in the sense that different people contribute to their work differently in different parts of the day.

He has held prime positions in his profession across the state. His contribution to the Public and Police force shows the intensity and the quality of his work.
