->Kaspian3 m I have removed an inaccurate photo of P. K. Banerjee. I attempted to upload an accurate (family) photograph of him wearing the Padma Shri in Civil Service award, but this was unfortunately automatically disallowed. I would be glad to provide this if possible to complete the update to the page. |
