Refusing to shift the mayor's bungalow to Byculla zoo property, party wants house where CM's close aide stays


A memorial for late Bal Thackeray has been proposed at Shivaji Park mayor's bungalow
Is Shiv Sena responsible for the delay in deciding where the new mayor's bungalow will be? With the current mayor's bungalow at Shivaji Park, Dadar, to be taken over by a public trust to convert it into a memorial for Sena founder Bal Thackeray, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had planned to move Mumbai’s mayor to Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan’s heritage bungalow. The Sena, however, rejected that plan and instead insisted on a property currently occupied by a state government official at Malabar Hill. But the party is unlikely to get its way easily as the official residing there is known to be a close aide of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
