It was a nice gesture from the government to remember the Iron Man of India. Very happy of the project. We fill that the huge cost incurred in making the same the return on the same shall be there. But not at the cost of the people, as current scenario very difficult times for common men to survive and more taxes and more surcharge from the people who will be visiting the place should not suffer. Also the water problem should not be faced by the surrounding villages.
