BENGALURU:

Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi have condoled the death of veteran journalist Somasekhar Yadavatti, who succumbed to Covid-19 at a private hospital in the city on Sunday.

“Being a simple, well-mannered man, he was known for his impartial and objective reporting. My recent interview with him after the government completed one year is still green in my memory,” the CM said.

ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಗೆ ಸಂದರ್ಶನ ನೀಡಿದ್ದು ನನ್ನ ನೆನಪಿನಂಗಳದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಚ್ಚ ಹಸಿರಾಗಿದೆ. ಯಡವಟ್ಟಿ ಅವರ ನಿಧನದಿಂದ ಮಾಧ್ಯಮ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ತುಂಬಲಾರದ ನಷ್ಟವುಂಟಾಗಿದೆ.

ಭಗವಂತ ಮೃತರ ಆತ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ಶಾಂತಿಯನ್ನು ಹಾಗೂ ಅವರ ಕುಟುಂಬದವರಿಗೆ ದುಃಖ ಭರಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ನೀಡಲಿ ಎಂದು ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಶೋಕ ಸಂದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ತಿಳಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. (2/2)

— CM of Karnataka (@CMofKarnataka) August 16, 2020

Yadavatti (50) was chief correspondent of the ‘Samyuktha Karnataka’ daily newspaper. Dharwad-based Yadavatti had worked in several media organizations, including ETV, Karunada Sanje and Udayavani.

He had been working till Friday, when he was admitted to a private hospital with Covid symptoms.

ಶ್ರೀ ಸೋಮಶೇಖರ ಅವರು ಪತ್ರಿಕೋದ್ಯಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ನಿಷ್ಠರಾಗಿ ಸದಾ ಸಕಾರಾತ್ಮಕವಾಗಿ ವರದಿಗಳನ್ನು, ವಿಶ್ಲೇಷಣೆಗಳನ್ನು ಬರೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದನ್ನು ನಾನು ಗಮನಿಸಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ವಿಧಾನಸೌಧದಲ್ಲಿ ಮತ್ತು ಅಧಿವೇಶನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರು ಲವಲವಿಕೆಯಿಂದ ಸುದ್ದಿ ಸಂಗ್ರಹದಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವತ್ತೂ ಚುರುಕಾಗಿರುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.

ತಾನಾಯಿತು ತನ್ನ ಕೆಲಸವಾಯಿತು ಎನ್ನುವ ಮನಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆಳೆದು ಬಂದ ಅವರ ನಿಧನ ಪತ್ರಿಕೋದ್ಯಮ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ದೊಡ್ಡ ನಷ್ಟವೇ ಸರಿ.

ದಿವಂಗತರಿಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಅಂತಿಮ ಪ್ರಣಾಮಗಳು.
