Educationist and Marathi author Nagnath Kottapalle passed away on Wednesday due to a brief illness at a hospital in Pune, family sources said. He was the president of the 86th All India Marathi Literary meet held at Chiplun in Ratnagiri district in 2012.
Kottapalle had penned novels, poetry, and written literary criticism essays.
“Kottapalle was suffering from lung cancer but recovered. A fortnight ago, he was admitted to a private hospital in Pune where he was diagnosed with an infection. His health deteriorated and he breathed his last on Wednesday,” said Manohar Jadhav, author and professor of Marathi at the Savitribai Phule University.
