BMP plan to honour authors, poets
Special Correspondent
Bangalore:
Suvarna Karnataka may benefit the homes once occupied by big names in Kannada literature and now almost forgotten and allowed to become dilapidated.
Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BMP) has planned to install plaques on houses where well-known Kannada authors and poets once lived.
The civic body has so far identified 20 such buildings scattered in and around Bangalore.
Inspiration for this project apparently came from the example of "Kavimane', the ancestral home of Kuvempu in Malnad, now attracting crowds of his admirers and literature scholars.
The list the BMP has compiled includes Masti Venkatesha Iyengar, T.P. Kailasam, Vinayak Krishna Gokak, D.V. Gundappa and K.S. Narasimha Swamy.
Only some of the houses they lived in now remain intact; some are used as godowns and shops. Some have disappeared altogether. Where the original buildings do exist, the civic body may acquire them, turn them into suitable memorials.
