Preserving a piece of history in Pune

It was in Pune that the country's first school for girls was started by Mahatma Jyotiba Phule and his wife Savitri. The historical structure was taken over by a builder, demolished and replaced with a commercial complex, but the government has now realised its mistake and wants this piece of history back. "It's our national heritage which has been turned into a commercial complex due to mistakes committed by Pune Municipal Corporation," said Babasaheb Bhosale, an activist.
