Mumbai Mayor and Shiv Sena leader Kishori Pednekar on Monday said there is no garden officially named after Tipu Sultan by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in Malad.
"The name of the garden is not registered with BMC. The signboard (of the garden's name) has been installed by the local MLA, with whom, we are speaking," she said.
