Tribute to Shri Murali Santhanam 1956 – 2023

A Life Lost Too Soon and an irreversible loss for YPS. 

YPS has lost the most dedicated person who worked for the all round progress of the club and kept its flag flying high.  He was an inspiration not only for the Executive Committee but to all members of YPS.
