A Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue, unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during Navy Day celebrations in December last year, collapsed at Rajkot fort in #Maharashtra’s Sindhudurg district.
Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde says “The incident that happened is unfortunate. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is the revered deity of Maharashtra. This statue was erected by the Navy. They had also designed it. But due to strong winds of around 45 km/h, it fell and got damaged. Tomorrow, officials from PWD and the Navy will visit the site and investigate the cause behind it. I sent Public Works Minister Ravindra Chavan to the site as soon as I heard about the incident. We will find out the reasons behind this incident and reinstall the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the revered deity of Maharashtra, at the same place.”
