Mumbai mayor Vishwanath Mahadeshwar is set to move out of his official residence at Shivaji Park by January next year. The Shiv Sena aims to undertake a ground-breaking ceremony for a Bal Thackeray memorial on his birth anniversary on November 17.

A report in this paper said that on Tuesday, the BMC completed the advance possession procedure of the property with civic officials handing over the 11,500 square feet area to senior Sena leader Subhash Desai, who is also the secretary of the Bal Thackeray Memorial Trust.
