The 133-foot-tall Thiruvalluvar statue standing on a rock in the sea in Kanniyakumari will be given a chemical coating soon as it is essential to protect it from corrosion, Minister for Tourism M. Mathiventhan has said. Speaking to reporters here on Friday, Mr. Mathiventhan said the previous AIADMK regime did not bother about protecting the statue from the salty sea breeze and seawater by giving a chemical coating over the past four years. Hence, the work would be started very soon besides installing high-power lights so that tourists could see the statue in floodlights.More Related News
