The faith reposed in the outgoing committee by the voters was engendered by the good work done in the preceding three years when it held the reins of the Anjuman, the email mentions. The Nagpur Parsi Anjuman is a registered trust which looks after matters concerning the welfare of the 501 member community there. Nagpur’s Zoroastrians are a vibrant, close-knit group who come together to celebrate every occasion.
