Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray wants a multilevel aquarium in Mumbai on the lines of Bangkok-based Ocean World, a popular tourist attraction in Thailand.

Uddhav Thackeray on Monday ordered the state tourism department to draft a proposal to develop a multilevel aquarium in Mumbai. He issued the instruction after holding a meeting with Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) officials in Mumbai.

The Chief Minister said," Mumbai is an international city. Tourists will start coming to Mumbai via its international cruise terminal. We need to have an international multilevel aquarium in the first stage.

"I have asked the officials to prepare a proposal for the project," he said.

Located two storeys below Siam Paragon shopping mall, it has over 30,000 marine animals from across the world.
