Yes under liberation we have built castles in the air. BC Parrikar, in his address, sought to remind the gathering that he had initiated an early effort to restore the fort in his first stint as chief minister. Parrikar said his late uncle was also jailed in the fort.
"We as a society should remember the past," said Parrikar, adding that "if we don't, that society can't build defence for the future". Parrikar felt the fort would have to find a way to make itself commercially viable. "The government is good at building, not maintaining," Parrikar acknowledged, adding that the restoration was privately funded.
