Thiruvananthapuram, Jul 27 (IANS): State Police chief Loknath Behra on Monday unveiled a three-dimensional monument made up of discarded rifles, revolvers and magazines at the Kerala Police headquarters.
The more than 20-foot tall structure is made of 1,422 discarded rifles, revolvers and magazines (ammunition storage and feeding device within or attached to a repeating firearm).
"It has been named as 'Shourya' which means valour and was made by us. Initially we thought to destroy these, but later thought to make out a monument. People can come and see this," said Behra.
