sachin34357 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Maharashtra government approves proposal for Rs 100 crore statue of Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji in the Arabian sea off the Mumbai coast, which is expected to be the tallest statue in the world. The Maharashtra cabinet on Wednesday approved a proposal to allocate Rs 100 crore for installation of a statue of warrior king Shivaji in the Arabian sea off the Mumbai coast. According to Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, it will be the tallest statue (in the world). However, he refused to specify how high it would be. "International bids have been invited. Concept plan has been readied. We have asked the Ministry of Environment and Forest to give exemption as the site comes under CRZ-4 category (where no construction can take place)," he said. Chavan said the site, where the statue would come up, is a 16-hectare bedrock in the sea. Even during high tide, the rock stands 3 to 4 meters above sea-level. "The site is 1.2 km from Raj Bhawan, 3.6 km from Girgaum and 2.6 km from Nariman Point," the CM added. In June last year, the Centre had approved in-principle the politically sensitive project as a special case. Reportedly, the statue of the warrior king facing the Marine Drive in South Mumbai, will be taller than the proposed Sardar Vallabhai Patel statue (182 metres) in Gujarat. http://www.mid-day.com/articles/maharashtra-cabinet-gives-green-signal-to-rs-100-cr-shivaji-statue/15072040

Prakat Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Mumbai will have its own sea-based statue. And we could do worse than Shivaji, a lot worse.

randomGuy Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 LOL.wattalogic sir. Tell me more about it yar Airport, mono rail,metro rail will take about a Lac crore, and these being primary expenditures Statue is expenditure on decorative purpose for relatively minuscule 100 crore
Crookbond Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 RG - Monorail is a bad investment considering the current state of public transport in Mumbai. Monorails are meant to be supplements to places where metro/trains can't reach. They are not so currently.
BeautifulGame Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Tell me more about it yar Airport, mono rail,metro rail will take about a Lac crore, and these being primary expenditures Statue is expenditure on decorative purpose for relatively minuscule 100 crore U can't really see better ways to spend 100 crores in a state where farmers commit suicide due to poverty? Airport Mono metro rail are to develop infrastructure of the country and building statues only purpose is for publicity stunt
