I had called Nehal immediately after seeing his mail. I have also explained
in detail about the provisions and options for the pictures uploadable onto
Wikimedia eco-system.

In fact, Nehal seems to be in a position to facilitate releasing a bulk
load of images presently controlled / copyrighted by his state government.
What he needs is some expert advice / assistance on how to go about it in
the most proper way.

Vishnu, could you please look into this matter? Thanks.
