NMC to identify land for Thackeray memorial
It will also visit the proposed site of the new museum project in the
city for the purpose. The decision to this effect was taken at the
meeting of all party group leaders, called by the city mayor Yatin Wagh
on Monday.
Wagh said, “The group leaders suggested the
proposed site of the museum in prabhag no. 22 for the memorial. We will
soon visit the site. It was also been decided to get the list of the
plots of the municipal corporation and take a decision thereafter.”
The mayor added, “The memorial will include an art gallery, his
memorabilia and other projects. The work of the memorial will begin once
the land is identified.”
The meeting was attended by Sena
group leader Ajay Boraste, leader of the opposition Sudhakar Badgujar of
the Sena, NCP group leader Vinayak Khaire, MNS group leader Sujata
Dere, leader of the house Shashikant Jadhav and group leader of Shahar
Vikas Aghadi, Gurumit Bagga. Leader of opposition Sudhakar Badgujar
said, “We urged the mayor to build the memorial at the proposed site of
the museum in prabhag no. 22 instead of seeking list of plots from the
NMC.”
The NMC general body meeting on December 19, 2012 had given its nod to the memorial in the city.
