Mr T.P Sreenivasan's group met him and he said it was sad that the British Library was closing. He had used the British Council Library in Delhi as a student. But his advice was to create a good library here which would be a better replacement to this.
If you want confirmation of this comment, ring up Mr. T.P Sreenivasan.
