Here is a message sent by R.Narasimha Swamy, who informed us about the sad demise of Sri Heblikar..
Sri Heblikar was my colleague, mentor and Guru when I joined AIR Dharwad as ASE. Sri Heblikar joined AIR as EA then worked in Guwahati as SEA and Chitradurga. Of course long stint at his native place Dharwad. He took VRS from AIR when he was SE, Chitradurga to take care of his farms in Dharwad. I met him some 4 years before and he was remained as cheerful and enthusiastic as he was during his younger days.
Wonderful human being and a thorough engineer to the core. His approach to all engineering problems were simple and straight forward. He has made immense contribution to AIR Dharwad and Guwahati in maintaining the transmission infrastructure of these two stations. I learnt a lot from him during my first tenure at Dharwad. I owe a lot to my understanding of Radio engineering to him.
May his soul rest in peace.
