PM Modi lays foundation stone of ₹3,600 cr Shivaji memorial
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday laid the foundation stone (performed Jal Pujan) of 'Shiv Smarak', a ₹3,600-crore memorial of Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Mumbai. Located 1.5 km off the coast, it will house Shivaji's 192 m tall statue. Taller than New York's Statue of Liberty, it would reportedly be the world's tallest statue once completed.
