Asia's tallest tower in Mumbai to mark 50 yrs of Maharashtra
MUMBAI: Maharashtra government is marking 50 years of the state by planning 50 ambitious projects, including Asia's tallest building in the city.
"We have proposed building an iconic tower, which would be Asia's tallest and have invited design and construction bids for it," a senior official from the Urban Development Department said.
The 531-metre high tower has been proposed to be built at Wadala in Central Mumbai over 14 hectares of land, the official said, adding that the proposal has been submitted to the Government.
The tower would have commercial, recreational, academic and entertainment facilities, he said, adding, "the place has been chosen in such a way that it would be a conversion point for proposed Monorail and Metro rail."
To mark the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the coastal state, formed in 1960, the Congress-NCP Government is planning a slew of projects.
Chief Secretary Johny Joseph has convened a meeting of all departments tomorrow in this regard, the official said.
"All secretaries would come up with total 50 innovative schemes to mark the Golden Jubilee year of the state," the official said.
Joseph would also discuss celebration cost and list of dignitaries to be invited for the concluding celebrations of the Jubilee year, which began on May 1.
The schemes and the plan of the celebration would be presented at the cabinet meeting this week for approval, as the code of conduct for Assembly polls may come into force soon, he said.
