Korukonda School pays tributes to its alumnus

Vizianagaram: The staff and students of Korukonda Sainik School here paid tributes to late mountaineer Malli Mastan Babu, who was a student of the school from 1985 to 1992. Addressing the gathering, Registrar Ashok Babu said that he and Mastan, who was senior by two years, belonged to the same district.

“Hence during holidays, we used to visit our villages.” He said the mountaineer was interested in sports and cultural activities since childhood and was keen on doing something unique for the country. The Registrar described Mastan’s death atop a mountain in Chile as ‘unfortunate’.
