Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, on Monday, said that the government's modernisation plan would not rob the landmark Tagore Centenary Theatre of its tree wealth.
He said the proposed architectural design for the theatre gave importance to the staging of modern and traditional art forms and would reflect Indian and Kerala culture at its aesthetic best.
