The officials have decided to seek opinion of architects. There will be delays on account of the need to study seasonal changes and tidal patterns near the identified venue, sources said.
“An advertisement urging architects across the world to give their opinion on how the memorial should be conceived will be issued by the government... The best design will be selected to set up a memorial of international standards,” minister Jayant Patil said.. Patil heads the state-appointed expert committee looking into setting up of the memorial. The government has identified a 16-acre islet situated about 1.2 km southwest of the Raj Bhavan for installation of the proposed 312-ft statute of Shivaji in the Arabian sea.
“The experts have been asked to study issues such as structural stability and tidal behaviour near the islet for 12 months,” Patil said.
“The preliminary report of the changes in the sea will be submitted in the next four months. Based on the initial inputs, a plan of action will be charted,” he added
