Ambedkar Statue of Equality only 47% complete

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: Even though chief minister Devendra Fadnavis declared on B R Ambedkar’s death anniversary on Friday that the memorial to the architect of the Indian Constitution at Dadar’s Indu Mill would be completed at a faster pace, its construction, like any other infrastructure project, has been plagued by repeated delays. Ambedkar Statue of Equality only 47% complete According to officials of MMRDA, the nodal agency overseeing the project, while the main statue’s replica is completely ready, only 47% of the work on the actual one has been completed. MMRDA officials said that the causes of delay included a dispute with the Ambedkar family on the statue’s design, the pandemic lockdown and a shortage of funds. “With the current scenario and status of construction, the library, auditorium, entrance, parking, halls, souvenir shop, meditation centre etc will be ready in 2025 but not the Statue of Equality,” said an MMRDA source.
