Palakkad municipality says it cannot be reinstalled on the roadside
Palakkad municipality has denied permission for reinstalling the ‘stolen’ statue of writer O.V. Vijayan at SBI Junction in the town. The statue installed at a 2.7 cent ‘park’ by the municipality had gone missing in 2019, and the municipal councillors led by the then chairperson Prameela Sasidharan had staged an agitation for its reinstallation.
O.V. Vijayan Anusmarana Samithi president and rights activist Boban Mattumantha approached the municipality demanding reinstallation of the statue. However, the municipality denied permission for the statue’s restoration saying that it could not be reinstalled on the roadside.
