Varthur Kodi Circle in Whitefield to be named after Madhukar Shetty
Statue proposal dropped
Bengaluru: BBMP had decided to rename the Varthur Kodi Circle in Whitefield after late IPS officer Madhukar Shetty, and to build his statue there.
The family members of Madhukar Shetty and officers, who have worked with him, welcomed the decision to rename the major circle after him.
However, they have asked not to build his statue utilising funds reserved for development works. After discussion, his family and these officers have conveyed to BBMP that Madhukar Shetty did not like building statues using public money. Therefore it will be inappropriate to build his statue by public fund.
Madhukar Shetty was known as an efficient and forthright police officer. BBMP had decided to name the important circle in the IT hub of the city to recognise his services and to inspire young officers to follow his ideals. After the request from his family and other officers, BBMP in consultation with the local corporator, has decided to only rename the circle after the late IPS officer and drop the idea of building the statue.
