Shivaji statue controversy: How a 35-feet structure was built despite approval for just 6 feet

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.
