No flame inside Hutatma memorial: Bhujbal The BMC decided to convert the car park around the Hutatma Chowk memorial into a garden, and Mayor Mahadeo Deole said an eternal flame would be placed in the garden in honour of the 105 martyrs in the Samyukta Maharashtra Movement. Civic sources said the real issue at stake was not the chowk’s sanctity but the name associated with it. Though the structure has been in existence for a long time, the credit for developing the garden and for etching the names of the 105 people who laid down their lives for the creation of Maharashtra on it goes to Bhujbal. mid-day.com /news/city/2003/august/60114.htm

A separate Mumbai Hutatma Chowk, a martyr’s memorial located in South Mumbai, bears testimony to the struggle for statehood for Maharashtra which claimed 105 lives. When former prime minister, late Morarji Desai, in his capacity as the CM of old Bombay State, opposed the inclusion of Mumbai in Maharashtra, the move was fought tooth and nail. The issue of Mumbai is so volatile that in 1985 when it was raised in the state legislative council, former Maharashtra chief minister, late Vasantdada Patil, responded vociferously saying that any such move would be crushed by the state. www.indianexpress.com /full_story.php?content_id=72733
