BENGALURU: If all goes as planned, passengers at Kempegowda International Airport will be greeted by a mammoth statue of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda. Land has been finalised to build this statue. Speaking to the media persons on Wednesday, Deputy Chief Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayan said that a theme park will come up near KIA on 23 acres and that the statue will be fixed there.
“The statue will be 80 ft high. It will be mounted on a 40 ft high pedestal. Now that the land has been finalised, we will get clarity about the statue’s aspects soon. At present, many private companies have come forward to get involved in this initiative,’’ he said. He also said that the statue will not hinder flight movements due to its proximity to the airport.
