Assurance by MLA Yogesh Kadam and MLA Shekhar Nikam to the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti

The birth place of the great patriot Lokmanya Tilak in Ratnagiri is still under grave neglect. The birthplace falls under the Department of Archeology, Ratnagiri, Government of Maharashtra. An Urdu Bhavan has been announced at Ratnagiri; however, the government has shown apathy towards the birthplace which is a national heritage site.
