Myself and my brother in law went to Prakruti Parichaya Kendra on 11 12 2016. Before entering museum, we had to put off shoes. When we returned after half an hour, we found the shoes of my brother in law missing there. We brought to the notice of Mr. Prashant and Mr. Swamy about this incident but they showed their helplessness. I request you to pl. make arrangement so that such incidents are not repeated. When I asked about feed back book/suggestion book/complaint book but it is not available there. Pl. make it available. Virendra Kumar Jain, 9869681172
