-----Latest news coming from reliable sources, that the Statue of Opinion Poll Leader Dr. Jack Sequeira is likely to be positioned at the centre of the Dona Paula circle and the work is in progress. Once this pedestal work is completed the statue will be lifted and installed at the new location. Hopefully the work will be done by professionals. Earlier they have told us ( residents of Dona Paula) and also to Dr Jack Sequeira family that the statue will not be shifted unless the alignment of the road comes on the way . At that time the circle work of new design had just started and the statue has reached at the periphery of the circle. It is not yet known how this will be lifted, what height and which position the statue will be facing because there are four ways it can be installed . It is learnt that four original removed plaques are with the custody of Sequeira's family . Three photos clicked by me today ( 23.11.2016) shows the present look. Other side of the road where NIO display board presently seen near the compound wall, I was told that in front of that board a sort of garden will come, and the benches for the tourist to sit will be a permanent structure in the footpath. The public and the staff of NIO is hereby informed.
