May 2015 newsflash: "PUNE: The Maharashtra government will complete the process to buy the house in London where B R Ambedkar lived in the 1920s by May-end and plans to convert it into a memorial-cum-museum." Following some basic renovation this opened on 14 November 2015 but the plan is to close soon to enable more fundemental works.
