Ø The much-awaited unveiling of a Mahatma Gandhi bronze (in picture) at
the historic Parliament Square here will take place on March 14, Prime Minister
David Cameron announced. The announcement came as the Gandhi Statue Memorial
Trust surpassed the £1-million mark in donations to get the statue installed,
with steel magnate Lakshmi N. Mittal adding £100,000 and the Infosys Board
£250,000 in the past few weeks. Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is expected
to be the special guest at the ceremony to install the statue, which will be
the last to come up in the square alongside those of Nelson Mandela and Winston
Churchill.
