One of the iconic landmarks of this city, this engineering marvel has been
severely threatened in recent years owing to an Indian habit. While the
structure, completed in 1943, has withstood the weight of its teeming human
load, officials say it cannot continue to survive the outcome of the habit.
The problem had to be addressed when officials realized that the bases
reduced to half of their original size owing to the highly corrosive nature of
the acidic slake lime and paraffin involved. As a preventive measure, a
£20,000 project to provide protective fibre glass covers at the bases began in
2013. Officials also mooted the idea of installing pictures of Gods and
Goddesses as an alternative to the glass covers.
