A rare political harmony unfolded in Mumbai as Maharashtra Navnirman Sena leader Raj Thackeray called on Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at Nandnvan residence. On February 18, their talks centered on nurturing the city’s architectural heritage and historic sites.
With Dr. Shrikant Shinde present, the duo explored walls lined with antique photos of Mumbai’s glory days. Thackeray animatedly recalled associated tales, commending drives to sustain this visual and structural treasure trove.
Per the official communique, focus stayed on heritage imaging techniques and supportive policies. Shinde briefed on strategies fostering preservation-friendly builds in a rapidly evolving skyline.
Nandnvan’s own heritage credentials shone through Thackeray’s tour of its heritage-harmonized expansions.
The Deputy CM highlighted past CM initiatives fortifying traditional architecture against urban sprawl. Crucially, this post-BMC polls encounter—after Shinde’s BJP-allied 29 seats trumped MNS’s six with UB T—marks a reset.
In a city where heritage battles concrete jungles daily, this parley inspires. It spotlights shared stakes in icons from CST to Marine Drive, potentially forging cross-party fronts for funding, regulations, and awareness to immortalize Mumbai’s architectural narrative.
