She further revealed that the council has given constructs to various people to manage roundabouts in the city and the place has been given to someone who has different plans.

“We are removing this structure because we don’t know the meaning of the it, we were even failing to explain to residents and tourist what it was all about, so after the outcry of people we have resolved in demolishing it”, she said
