Hearty Congratulations Rons. You have been a live-wire serving the cause of Kannada and Konkani from Mumbai. May you continue to serve the community with the same commitment, dedication and enthusiasm in future too. Though you have received the honour, I am sure your achievements were possible only with your family's support and contribution and they deserve the best wishes.
