British high commissioner Dominic Asquith on his first visit to Calcutta spent Wednesday morning on the Maidan, playing with and meeting children from the Jungle Crows “Khelo Rugby” project, which takes sporting and social development opportunities into communities across the state. Asquith, impressed with the project, asked all the children to keep playing and practising. He would check out their progress on his next visit, he said.
