Madras HC Rules To Relocate Actor Sivaji Ganesan's Statue Thursday Jan 23,2014


The statue of  Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan will have to be removed from one of Chennai's main roads, the Madras High Court ruled on Thursday Jan 23,2014


The chennai  city police had said that the bronze statue, nearly eight feet tall, made it difficult for drivers to correctly navigate a major intersection on the Marina Beach Road.


The police told the court in earlier hearings that the statue obstructs traffic visibility thereby risking the lives of many on the road. The police said that 21 accidents have taken place near the statue since 2012. One of these accidents was fatal

The statue was installed and unveiled  by the DMK Govt led by M Karunanidhi in 2006
