NCP (SP) Seeks Relocation of Sathe Memorial in Mumbai
Some people want to build a memorial for a famous writer named Annabhau Sathe.
The memorial was planned to be built in Ghatkopar, but families living there might have to move out.
Because of this, a political group wants the memorial to be built somewhere else, like at Mumbai University.
They also want to keep Annabhau Sathe's old house as a memorial.
They support the memorial, but they don't want people to lose their homes.
NCP (SP) requests CM to relocate the ₹300 crore Annabhau Sathe Memorial.
The memorial's original site in Ghatkopar, Mumbai, faces resident displacement concerns.
Lottery to rehabilitate PAPs has been postponed due to lack of clarity.
NCP (SP) suggests relocating the memorial to Mumbai University or Mandala village.
Preservation of Annabhau Sathe’s existing home in Chirag Nagar is also requested.
