Maha: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue's pedestal caves in at Rajkot fort in Sindhudurg

Kolhapur / Sindhudurg, June 15 (UNI) Within a month of installation of a new statue of Chhatrapatii Shivaji Maharaj at Rajkot fort in Malvan tehsil of Sindhudurg district, the pedestal on which the statue is installed crumbled on Sunday with a big hole in a wall.
However, there is no risk to 83-feet-tall statue of Chhatrapatii Shivaji Maharaj.
Nearly a month after Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis inaugurated new statue of Chhatrapatii Shivaji Maharaj at Rajkot fort on May 11, a big hole in a wall of pedestal of the statue was found today as the land under the pedestal gave way due to poor quality of construction.
