Controversy

A social action group - the Bhopal citizens forum (BCF) has objected to the laying of a tar road and construction of a makeshift market at the historic 19th century Benazir palace, the location of Prakash Jha's upcoming film 'Satyagraha'. The issue caught the eye of the national monuments authority (NMA) as well.[23] Benazir palace grounds come under the Gandhi medical college (GMC, Bhopal). The palace itself, not a protected monument, is held by the public works department (PWD)
