"This is the house where Ray hosted personalities like Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, and Pandit Ravi Shankar. It is a part of history. We have, therefore, decided to protect this building by enlisting it as one of the city's heritage sites," Bakshi, who represents the area in the city civic body, told PTI.
