and was destroyed during the Indo-Pak war of 1965. Now, one can see only the remains of the church tower. The church now belongs to the Indian Air Force and the authorities are planning to convert the bombed church into a war memorial chapel.
As a schoolboy in 1960, i used to walk through the church precincts, on my way back from Benjamin high school (along the same road as the church entrance) to home in KE lines. Memories of plucking ber and wood apple in the clump of trees in the church compound. Wish to see this church now.
