Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Statue: After the political uproar over the fall of the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Sindhudurg, Maharashtra, the state government has now issued a tender to build a new statue. The Kankavali division of the Public Works Department has issued the tender. At the same time, the state government has allocated Rs 20 crore for building the statue. Let us tell you that Prime Minister Modi had also apologized for the breaking of the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

A 60 feet tall statue will be made

Ajay Kumar, Executive Engineer of PWD in Kankavli said that now we will be very careful. The new statue will be built on the lines of Gujarat’s Statue of Unity. The previous statue was 33 feet high. Now, a 60 feet statue will be built. He said that whichever company gets the tender will have to give a guarantee of at least 100 years. Apart from this, the company will also have to monitor it for 10 years. Also, a condition has been kept that the construction of the statue should be completed within 6 months.

The statue was vandalised on August 26

Let us tell you that this statue was unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 4 December. On 26 August, this statue collapsed. After this, the state government formed two committees to investigate the incident of the statue collapse. For this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar publicly apologized.

Some reports said that earlier only a 6 feet tall statue was allowed here. But later it was made 33 feet tall. The opposition surrounded the government on this issue. The opposition demanded the resignation of Eknath Shinde. The police have arrested structural consultant and contractor Chetan Patil in this case.

Deputy CM Ajit Pawar has already said that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is our God and history is proud of him. In such a situation, his memorial will be built for the second time and strict action will be taken against the culprits.
