Q. Statue of Unity, recently seen in the news, is located on the banks of which river?
Answer: Narmada River
Notes: Dozens of exotic birds and animals, relocated to Gujarat's Sardar Patel Zoological Park near the Statue of Unity, have perished in the past two years. The 182-meter tall statue, dedicated to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, stands on Sadhu Bet Island, Gujarat, by the Narmada Dam. Constructed by Larsen & Toubro and designed by Ram V Sutar, the statue honors India's 'Iron Man'. The Gujarat government funded the INR 3,050-crore project, covering 20,000 square meters with a surrounding artificial lake of 12 square kilometers.
