Statues on Hussain Sagar Tank Bund that were vandalised during 'Million March' held by Telangana Joint action Committee demanding separate state on 10 March 2011, are to be replaced with new ones very soon. In the wake of outcry by poets, literary figures and civil organisations, the state government had decided to re-install the statues at their original places.
The 12 statues of Telugu icons - Sri Krishnadevaraya, Yerrapragada, Annamacharya, Siddendra Yogi, Brahmanaidu, Raghupathi Venkataratnam Naidu, Mutnuri Krishna Rao, Kandukuri Veereshalingam, Tripuraneni Ramswamy Choudary, Ballari Raghava, Sir Arthur Cotton and Gurajada Appa Rao - were damaged by the agitators on March 10 during the protest march. Except Bellari Raghava's statue, all the other vandalised statues were dumped in the Hussainsagar.
The state department of culture invited applications from sculptors and have received applications from 10 sculptors in the state. Out of these 10 sulptors, Sri Sai Baba Mega Shilpa Shala from Vijayawada who quoted the lowest, has been selected. According to the agreement, the sculptor, B Shiva Vara Prasad, has to make the statues and install them on the designated pedestals on Tank Bund within three months, the sources said. Incidentally, Shiva Vara Prasad is the same sculptor who had made a 24-feet statue of the late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and installed it at Pavuralagutta. The government had unveiled the statue on the first death anniversary of the former chief minister on September 2, 2010.
