We have already announced and also circulated about the request from Manishaben not to stop her to ask questions whilst she is leaving the Hall.  Please note that she has to attend her other class and she does not want to be delayed for the same. She also needs to prepare for the answer. If you want to tell her about anything, then write by email and she will attend to it.  Or you can send her a Whatsup message on 0790868147.  You can even request our Secretary to do so on your behalf.  ALSO PLEASE DO NOT PHONE HER.
