[This day, 30 years ago, from my personal diary entry]
Today’s Newspaper had Nine Prominent Newspaper Headlines.
The most prominent news of the day was on the Sage of Kanchi or Mahaperiyavar (The great elder) who had passed away on 8th January 1994, just a few months ahead of his centenary year celebrations (b. 20th May 1894 | d. 8th Jan 1994). He was laid to eternal rest today.
Secondly, the Indian Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao’s surprise visit to Coimbatore disrupts flights.
Thirdly, it is a very important day for the Cultural Capital of Kerala – Thrissur and Guruvayur – also called the Dwaraka of the South! The first phase of the Thrissur–Guruvayur section was inaugurated today, by the Prime Minister of India, Narasimha Rao.
Fourthly, thousands were trapped by Sydney Bush Fires - Sydney experienced severe bushfires that trapped thousands of people, causing mass evacuations across the city and surrounding areas. This event is widely known as the “1994 Eastern Seaboard Fires” where an estimated 800,000 hectares of land were burnt and four people lost their lives.
