The Ashok stambh outside Ambedkar garden in Chembur is finally complete, after 17 long years. The BMC accelerated the construction work after this paper`s report last December. The chief minister will inaugurate the national emblem tonight (Thursday, April 13), said Shiv Sena MP Rahul Shewale.
The BMC had sanctioned the construction of Ashok stambh as part of the beautification of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Udyan. The garden is the second most important place for Ambedkarites, after Chaitya Bhoomi in Dadar.
