Ranga Statue Installed, Removed in Kakinada Sparks Debate

Ranga Statue Installed, Removed in Kakinada Sparks Debate

Imagine a town where people wanted to put up a statue of someone they admired, Ranga.

Some people, members of the Kapu community, put up the statue without asking the town first.

The people in charge, the police and municipal officials, said 'Whoa, you need permission!'

and took the statue down.

The people who wanted the statue were not happy, so they gathered to protest and ask for permission.

At the same time, another group, the BJP, suggested putting up a statue of a different important person.

The main problem is that you need to ask for permission from the authorities before installing statues in public.
