After the Indo-China war broke out in October of 1962, legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar wanted to contribute in some way to our country’s soldiers. She called up a family friendin Hyderabad to help her organise a concert in the city.
The programme was held at Nizam College Grounds in Basheerbagh. Money generated from the concert went to National Defence Fund. However, it could not be organised as per the plan.
The family friend, Mohan Hemmadi (85), who played a key role in organising the concert recalled that they had to postpone it by a week as it rained heavily in Hyderabad.
