PCMC decision to reserve land for police station behind Ambedkar memorial in Pimpri draws flak

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.
