Locals said, the space is a government land, owned by General Administration Department.Since the open space is used for parking by tourists and visitors to the  State Museum, its use for private purposes would create chaos, locals pointed out. In fact, the space is also used to park college buses.While the locals opposed the move, some of them also filled up the pits dug by the firm for plinth. This led to tension and local police reached the spot and suspended the work.first published:January 01, 1970, 05:30 ISTlast updated:January 01, 1970, 05:30 IST
