The Government has allotted Rs.4 Crores 30 lakhs for landscaping and Rs.3 Crores and 40 lakhs for replacing the front entrance and constructing compound wall.

The tomb appearance will be changed in accordance with the style present in Mahatma Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi memorial. Recently the entrance was demolished and closed. People who visit MGR tomb have to enter through Peraringnar Anna square.

Vandalism in MGR Square

Sri MGR Year 94, 24th February Thursday

 

A person named Ramachandran! visited our beloved Leader MGR’s resting place and started to vandalize, the reason is that he forgot to wear his watch so he tried to open the slab to get hold the watch that was used by MGR.

 

He was taken into custody, lately Police protection was provided in MGR Square.

 

 

Many years back when Nasa’s Mars rover landed on the planet some one gave an interview that the planet Mars is his ancestral property. Such kind of talks is pure publicity purpose, I do not think this incident is for publicity.

 

This event gives insight how much care is given to our Leaders resting place. The article was taken from Maalai malar digital edition.
