Gadkari criticises statue collapse, advocates stainless steel use

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has expressed strong criticism regarding the recent collapse of the Shivaji Maharaj statue, attributing the failure to the choice of materials used in its construction. Gadkari argued that if stainless steel had been employed instead, the statue would have remained intact.

Addressing the media, Gadkari emphasized that stainless steel offers superior durability and resilience compared to other materials. He highlighted that using such high-quality materials is crucial for ensuring the longevity and structural integrity of monumental constructions. The Minister's comments reflect his broader advocacy for incorporating advanced materials in public infrastructure projects to prevent similar issues in the future.

Gadkari's remarks come in the wake of the statue's collapse, which has sparked debates over the quality of materials and construction standards. The incident has raised concerns about the maintenance and safety of monumental structures across the country.

The government is now expected to review material standards and construction practices to avoid such failures in future projects. Gadkari's call for a shift towards more durable materials like stainless steel aims to enhance the durability and longevity of national monuments and public infrastructure.
