Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, his son and Worli legislator Aaditya, inspected the ongoing work for the Balasaheb Thackeray National Memorial, which will come up at the Mumbai Mayor's official residence in Dadar. They were accompanied by former Maharashtra Minister Subhash Desai.

The trio addressed a press conference after inspecting the works and said the memorial will be ready by January 2026. "The first phase of the works is over and the second will begin soon," Thackeray said, adding that the memorial is being constructed keeping in mind the heritage status of the Mayor's bungalow as well as the environmental concerns, as the structure is coming up near the Arabian Sea.
