The statue of General Thimayya in Madikeri, which had been damaged when a speeding KSRTC bus accidentally crashed into the circle in August 2023, will be reinstalled on March 8.
Deputy Commissioner of Kodagu district Venkat Raja said the damaged statue was sent to Shilpa Kala Academy in Mysuru and has now been repaired. Even the circle, which had been damaged in the accident, has been repaired by Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Limited (KRIDL), a State government undertaking formerly known as Karnataka Land Army Corporation.
“Both the statue and the circle, which have now been repaired, were ready for reinstallation,” said Mr. Venkat Raja.
