Statue Of Shivaji Fallen Down What Went Wrong: Brought In A Hasty Project, Bolts Rusted And Money Were Even Left Unbilled?

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj holds a great deal of respect among the people in Maharashtra, hence the incident cannot be taken lightly.

It was a colossal statue of bronze when erected, which measured 126 feet tall, toppled and fell into the sea.
