Chennai/Hyderabad, July 30: A memorial hall of former President late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam will be build in a sprawling area of 1.32 acres at Rameshwaram. The Central government was considering to built the memorial hall beside Raj Ghat, the memorial of Mahatma Gandhi in Delhi. But the Kalam's family members requested the government to construct it in Rameshwaram. Following this, the District Collector was told to select a suitable place for the memorial hall. The Collector selected 1.32 acres of government land in Pekkarumbu, 2 km away from Rameshwaram bus stand.
