An administrative approval order has been issued for the proposed Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Samaj Bhavan in Ambazari following a planning committee meeting chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
The Public Works Department will obtain a No Objection Certificate from the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation. Many Dalit community organizations had demanded the construction of the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Samaj Bhavan in Ambazari. The project faced significant backlash after the old Ambedkar Bhawan was demolished during redevelopment, leading to its suspension. This situation also led to some protests. In response to these concerns and considering the sentiments of the community, Fadnavis issued instructions during the planning committee meeting to readdress the project.
Accordingly, the administrative approval order has been issued yesterday and now the government will undertake the construction.
