NEW DELHI:

The former president's daughter Sharmistha Mukherjee said in a post on X that she met the Prime Minister to thank him for the "government's decision". The memorial will come up in Rashtriya Smriti Sthal, which houses the memorials of many former PMs and presidents, that lies along the Yamuna near Rajghat.

The Centre is, however, yet to decide on the land on which the memorial of former PM Manmohan Singh will be built. The Centre accepted the demand made by the Congress earlier after a controversy erupted over Singh's funeral at Nigambodh Ghat, which the party called unsuitable for a leader of Singh's stature.
