Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Sunday installed the statue of Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray in Mumbai’s Colaba, prompting some residents to oppose the move on grounds of a 2013 Supreme Court order that stated that no statue would be installed on public roads.
The statue was placed by the civic body at a traffic island on MG Road at Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Chowk and is wrapped for now as some work is pending before its inauguration.

Mumbai: Residents oppose Bal Thackeray's statue at Colaba, cite SC order | Mumbai News


A peek at the Bal Thackeray statue coming up at Colaba
MUMBAI: BMC on Sunday placed Shiv Sena founder, the late Bal Thackeray’s statue at a traffic island on M G Road at Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Chowk in Colaba. While it is wrapped for now, officials said that some work was still pending before it is inaugurated. Some residents have opposed the installation, citing a 2013 Supreme Court order, which states that no statues must be installed on public roads.
Vice admiral (rtd) I C Rao, president of Apli Mumbai, an NGO, said residents had opposed it in December 2019. “There is a 2013 SC order which states that no statues can be installed on public roads. The safety of pedestrians is affected, and when there are events when the statue will be garlanded, the road will be closed. Ours is a safety issue and not political. There will be hundreds of people taking selfies and it will create a traffic problem. There is no space on the traffic island,” Rao said.
