Govt: Nod for 6ft only, but Shivaji statue that fell stood 35ft tall

The Maharashtra directorate of art approved a 6-ft statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji based on a clay model. The final structure, modified without further approval, was 35-ft tall and unexpectedly collapsed. The Navy, responsible for appointing sculptors and consultants, did not inform the directorate of significant design changes, igniting political debate.
