Sri T.V.Venkataraman i writes. I served under him in Thiruvallur.An efficient, soft spoken and understanding boss.Many may not know he is related to Namakkal Kavingnar. G N Sridharan writes: It is once again a sad news for all of us. Shri P Ramanathan passed away suddenly this afternoon (3 45 PM- 10/2/2020)  Reports reaching me reveal that he was taken to VHS hospital for an operation for Hernia but he had developed breathing problem.Tests on him reportedly found him suffering from tumor of lungs and was advised to be taken to Apollo Hospital for treatment but he unfortunately expired before any treatment could be given.
