Mumbai square named after slain journalist Jyotirmoy Dey


A city square where noted journalist Jyotirmoy Dey was shot dead over five years ago, was named after him on July 13. Mumbai Mayor Snehal Ambekar unveiled the plaque for the ‘J Dey Chowk’ this morning just across the road where he was gunned down on June 11, 2011. The naming of the square after the journalist was an initiative of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Mumbai Press Club.

The unveiling of the plaque was followed by a commemoration ceremony to mark Dey’s 5th death anniversary.
