Sir,
This refers to the column “Over A Cup of Evening Tea” by Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem in Star of Mysore dated Mar.17. In the article titled “The glorious past of a present-day landmark,” the doctor says, “The reigning king is said to have succumbed to an attack of Diphtheria while on a visit to Calcutta, where his funeral was held on a small plot of land at Kalighat, that still stands as the property of Mysore royal family.”
