Bhubaneswar, July 27 -- Bowing to controversies and criticism from several quarters, the Odisha Government has decided to withdraw its decision to shift the iconic horse statue at Master Canteen square in Bhubaneswar, on Tuesday.

Commissioner, Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) Sanjay Singh informed about the change in plans and said it has been decided at the 'Government level'.

Earlier last month, the Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited (BSCL) had proposed relocation of the statue which symbolises the might of ancient Kalinga and the proposal was approved by the State Culture Department.
