Dr Rudolph V.J. Noronha, General Manager (Corporate Communications), ONGC-MRPL today issued a statement on the brave sacrifice of Martyr Capt M V Pranjal:
Mangaluru: The brave sacrifice of Martyr Capt M V Pranjal is extolled by the MRPL family, deeply saddened by the profound event. Capt Pranjal, who dedicated his life to serving the nation, was a cherished member of our community. He was the only child of ex-MD M Venkatesh and Madam Anuradha Venkatesh.
M Venkatesh, his father, served the MRPL for nearly three decades, concluding his tenure as our Managing Director. Capt Pranjal, having spent a significant part of his childhood and youth in the MRPL colony, attending MRPL school, and being known to all, became an integral part of our extended family.
His father, a dedicated servant to the nation, and his mother, who inspired through noble deeds and contributions to social and literary spheres, created an environment where Pranjal, a happy child, thrived.
