On World Photography Day, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde inaugurated a three-day photo exhibition at the Thane Municipal Corporation headquarters. The event, jointly organized by the Thane Municipal Corporation and the Thane City Dainik Patrkar Sangh, featured a collection of photographs highlighting Thane's social, political, and cultural transformation.
Prominent leaders and civic officials attended the inauguration, including Member of Parliament Naresh Maske, Thane Mayor Sharmila Rohit Pimpalolkar, local MLAs, and Municipal Commissioner Saurabh Rao. Shinde commended the dedication of photojournalists, emphasizing their crucial role in capturing the truth and providing irrefutable evidence during critical moments, such as the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai.
He highlighted that photographers have consistently proven their value during times of crisis. Shinde proposed a theme for the next year's exhibition, suggesting "Changing Thane —capturing how Thane was in the past versus how it stands today," encouraging photographers to document both the positive developments and the gaps or negative aspects of Thane's evolution.
The exhibition, located on the first floor of the Thane Municipal Corporation headquarters, will remain open to the public until August 19.
