90 percent works of the 2nd phase metro rail project is going to take place in the area proximate to Gandhi statue. Once these works are completed, the statue of Gandhi will be shifted to its old place.

According to reports, people will not be able to visit Gandhi's statue or pay respects by garlanding it until the statue is moved back to its original location.

This arrangement has been made to ensure no damages are made to the statue while giant machines are employed for the work.
