PCMC decision to reserve land for police station behind Ambedkar memorial in Pimpri draws flak
The standing committee chairperson emphasized that the ground is a living testament to the Ambedkar movement and the social fabric of Pimpri-Chinchwad
Chairperson of the PCMC’s Standing Committee Seema Sawale has strongly condemned the decision of the civic body to reserve a portion of “Bhimsrushthi Maidan” – a revered site behind Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar statue in Pimpri – for a police station, municipal use, and a bus terminus.
In a letter to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCM), Sawale said the move is a direct assault on the sentiments of Ambedkar followers and has warned of widespread public agitation if the decision is not revoked.
