An eight feet bronze statue of Indian freedom struggle leader Subhas Chandra Bose was on Sunday unveiled at the naval base INS Netaji Subhas here, named after the iconic leader.
Netaji's niece in law Krishna Bose cut the ribbon together with Eastern Naval Command chief, Vice Admiral H.C.S. Bisht to unveil the statue.
