Sindhudurg District Magistrate is also in trouble

Earlier, Sindhudurg District Magistrate Kishore S Tawde was suddenly transferred. Not only this, he has also been demoted. He has been given the responsibility of the non-IAS junior administrative level category. In his place, Anil A. Patil, Managing Director of Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation Limited has been appointed as the new District Magistrate of Sindhudurg.

Let us tell you that the 28-foot-high statue of Chhatrapati installed on a 10-foot-high platform fell due to bad weather. Last year on Navy Day (December 4), PM Narendra Modi unveiled this statue at Rajkot Fort in Malvan Tehsil of Sindhudurg. Shinde government has also been criticized a lot due to the collapse of the statue just eight months after its unveiling.
