Mormugao Yuva Morcha (MYM) on Friday submitted a memorandum to Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) Chief Officer Agnelo Fernandes demanding a change in the name of the Children's Park and municipal garden in Vasco.
According to information received, MYM has requested the MMC garden be named after Swami Vivekananda and the Children's Park to be named after former president late APJ Abdul Kalam.
Speaking to reporters, MYM leader Kiran Naik said the memorandum was submitted as the group felt that the garden be named after renowned Indian thinker Swami Vivekananda, who put India on the world map through yoga, while the Children's Park be named after former president late APJ Abdul Kalam,
who was known as India's missile man.
When contacted,
Fernandes welcomed the suggestion.
"It is a nice initiative to rename the MMC garden and Children's Park after famous personalities who made India proud with their achievements. I appeal to all citizens and groups to approach me with such innovative and good suggestions that can be put to use to make Vasco a model town," said Fernandes.
