British envoy seeks protection of Delhi war cemetery


New Delhi, April 29 (IANS): British High Commissioner to India James Bevan on Wednesday requested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to protect a war cemetery threatened by encroachment in the city, a statement said.

Bevan called on Kejriwal at the Delhi secretariat and urged him to ensure the protection of the war cemetery in Model Town area of north Delhi.

"The chief minister immediately directed the divisional commissioner to inspect the site and send a report to his office about the required measures for protection," the statement said.
