Bhopal’s Iconic Raja Bhoj Statue Plunges into Darkness as Floodlights Remain Defunct

The iconic 32-foot statue of Raja Bhoj, a defining symbol of Bhopal’s rich heritage, currently stands shrouded in darkness at the VIP Road vantage point. For nearly two months, the decorative floodlights meant to illuminate the monument after sunset have remained completely defunct. This neglect of a landmark that defines our city’s skyline is a matter of concern for many residents who take pride in Bhopal’s cultural identity.
