Fans came forward to save RD Burman's house, over 7,000 people made this request to the authorities
RD Burman House As Museum: Fans of the great musician RD Burman want his house to be saved. For this, they have started a campaign. More than 7 thousand people have signed it.
Music fans are uniting to preserve a heritage building. This building is the childhood home of the legendary musician SD Burman and RD Burman in Kolkata. This house is situated at 36/1 South End Park in Kolkata. This building is being ignored. Fans are now asking the authorities to turn this house into a museum.
To put pressure on the authorities, a group of fans has started an online petition. It has received more than 7,000 signatures within a week. Fans say that this house should be preserved as a cultural site. The petition states, 'This house is not just a building of brick and stone. It has an echo of those who shaped Indian music. It should be turned into a museum, a cultural space. This will honor his talent.'
In January 2021, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee renamed the street outside the house as 'Sangit Sarani' and there was talk of converting the property into a museum. However, according to family members, work on this plan could not move forward.
