The Telangana government intends to install the world's tallest statue of Mahatma Gandhi at a cost of Rs 5,000 crore under the Gandhi Sarovar Project in Hyderabad. The project, covering 200 acres, involves evacuating around 500 families from Madhu Park Ridge Apartments, raising concerns about displacement among residents, many of whom are retired defense personnel.

Tushar Gandhi has expressed his disapproval of the project, urging the government to reconsider the displacement of families for the statue. Amid public opposition, including viral protests from residents, the government is reassessing the project's implications.
