The construction work on a memorial for former President A P J Abdul Kalam at his home town Rameswaram is slated to begin tomorrow with the Tamil Nadu government allotting land as sought by the Centre and construction material having reached the site.
Kalam's grand nephew, Sheik Salim, said the construction materials have reached the site and thanked the Central and state governments for taking up the initiative.
A state government release today said 1.30 acre land had been allotted for the memorial and the Central Public Works Department has taken steps to fence it.
The announcement about allotment of land and commencement of the construction work came days after media reports stated that the place where the memorial of the former President was proposed to be built was lying neglected.
