Demand to install unclaimed statues of Maratha warriors

Pune-based non-governmental organization (NGO) had planned to install statues of these three Maratha warriors at the first Talkatora Stadium. However, litterateurs and historians suggested installing full -sized statues in an anonymous state.

Pawar wrote in his letter:

“Many litterateurs and well -wishers believe that full -sized statues in an unclaimed state will be more suitable tributes to the valor and historical contribution of these great warriors.”

He also informed that the Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi comes under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Council (NDMC), so the Prime Minister should instruct the Delhi government and NDMC to give necessary permission.
