Gandhi statue on Marina beach !! rather Gandhi beach !!!

 

In the vast expanse of Marina Beach dotting the Bay of Bengal, there are heritage buildings, Educational Institutions, many statues of Tamil poets, freedom fighters  and politicians – and there was this  ‘Gandhi Statue’ opposite to IG Office, sculpted by Devi Prasad Roy Chowdhury.  There was a statue for actor Shivaji too ! 



This pic was taken a few years ago !  - Shivaji statue was moved away by a Court order.  This Gandhi statue stands moved to further inside, sort of obscure now – as Metro Train work is on in full swing !!
