Prefixes ‘Er.’ for engineers and ‘Lr.’ for lecturers sought
Karnataka's decision to permit teachers to use the prefix “Tr.” prompted Congress MLC B.S. Shivanna to request Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to grant similar official prefixes to engineers and lecturers. Shivanna wrote to the chief minister proposing “Er.” for engineers and “Lr.” for lecturers as formal recognition of their contributions.
