Question

o Why did the Municipal Council decide to remove the statue of R K Narayan's at Lawley Road?​

Answer 1

Answer:

There was a statue of Sir Frederick Lawley in the Lawley Extension. The Extension was now called Gandhi Nagar. It was odd that it should continue to have Lawley's statue there. So the Council resolved to remove it from there

Explanation:

Answer 2

They decided to remove it as the name of the area was to be nationalised.

• The question has been asked from the story Lawley Road by R.K. Narayan.
• The Municipal Council felt motivated to do something exceptional on the day of India's freedom. They spruced up the town and hung flags everywhere.
• The Chairman of the Council, on the other hand, was unsatisfied. To commemorate the event, he wanted to do something spectacular.
• As a result, the council had resolved to change the title of all the streets and parks to nationalised names.
• In addition, because the road had been renamed Gandhi Nagar, the council decided to demolish the statue of Lawley present on the street.
