A memorandum for including ward no 19, 40 and 48 in Sri Krishna Janmabhumi Tirth was given by Gopeshwar Nath Chaturvedi, a trustee of Sri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sansthan, since these wards form part of ancient “Panchkosi Parikrama (About 15 kilometer circumambulation )” of Mathura Parikrama, officials disclosed.
