The Telangana government is advancing plans to erect the world’s tallest Mahatma Gandhi statue at Bapu Ghat, the site where Gandhi’s ashes were immersed, in Hyderabad.

This initiative is part of a broader Musi River rejuvenation project, which includes the establishment of a Gandhian Ideology Centre aimed at promoting his principles of peace and brotherhood.

Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy is spearheading this project, which will involve consultations with experts and public suggestions regarding the statue’s design, height, and posture.
