Mysore/Mysuru, Nov. 13 -- Ten days after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah unveiled the statue of late former Chief Minister D. Devaraj Urs in the premises of new Deputy Commissioner's Office on Bannur Road in Siddarthanagar here, the Mysuru District Administration, bowing to public demand has decided to replace the statue, following a slew of complaints from various quarters that the statue hardly resembles the looks of the late former CM.

Speaking to Star of Mysore, Deputy Commissioner G. Lakshmikanth Reddy said that after the statue was unveiled by CM Siddaramaiah on Nov.3, the District Administration began receiving multiple objections to the appearance of the statue, which many say has little resemblance of the physical looks of Urs.
