Telangana Government's Gandhi Statue Project Faces Opposition from Residents and Great-Grandson
DEFENSE
The Telangana government plans to erect the world's tallest Gandhi statue in Hyderabad as part of the Rs 5,000 crore Gandhi Sarovar Project. However, nearly 500 families living in Madhu Park Ridge Apartments face displacement due to the project, raising concerns among residents, including retired defense personnel.
Tushar Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi's great-grandson, has criticized the project, urging reconsideration to avoid displacing families for a statue. The government is currently reassessing the project's impact amid public opposition.
