PM Modi's Mumbai Visit: PM Narendra Modi apologises for Shivaji Maharaj statue collapse

On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi apologised to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and those who were harmed by the collapse of the warrior king's statue in Sindhudurg, Maharashtra.

"Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is not just a name or a king; he is our deity," Modi remarked as he laid the foundation stone for the Rs 76,000 crore Vadhvan Port project in Palghar district. "Today, I bow my head at his feet and apologise to my deity," he said.

The statue, inaugurated by Modi last December during Navy Day celebrations in Sindhudurg, was designed to celebrate Shivaji Maharaj's marine defence legacy. The state government has subsequently declared that a joint technical committee, led by the Navy and comprised of state government representatives and technical specialists, will look into the causes of the collapse.
