Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is remembered by the people of Goa for his historical role against Portuguese colonialism. He visited Goa in 1683 to assist the local populace in their struggle against oppression. The state government proposes to buy land for erecting his statue on Mormugao Port Authority property. Chief Secretary V Candavelou has submitted an affidavit to the high court regarding this acquisition.
