Mysore/Mysuru: The removal of a 6ft. tall statue of actor Dr. Vishnuvardhan that was proposed to be installed under the aegis of Vishnuvardhan Abhimanigala Balaga at Vishnuvardhan Park located close to Kote Anjaneyaswamy Temple at the Palace North Gate to mark his birth anniversary, marred the late actor’s birth anniversary celebrations today in the city.
A day ahead of Dr. Vishnuvardhan’s birth anniversary, his fans had kept the statue of the actor last night at a covered spot in the park that was meant to be installed today coinciding with the actor’s birth anniversary. But the MCC staff and the Police who came to know about the plans for the installation of the statue, took away the statue that was made out of fibre at a cost of Rs. 3 lakh in an early morning joint operation today, as there was no permission for the statue installation.
