Krumbiegel’s headstone damaged, immediate restoration sought

Heritage Beku, a citizen-led advocacy group, has urged the State government to investigate, repair and restore the damaged headstone of Gustav Krumbiegel, a German horticulturist and town planner, at Hosur Road Cemetery. He was the curator and architect of Lalbagh, and his overall horticultural efforts gave Bengaluru its moniker ‘Garden City of India’.
