They said that the concerned officials will announce if more are found. The Divisional Officer Suresh confirmed that these were indeed old statues and were found because of the low water levels in the Dam.
He further informed that the statues have been handed over to the Tahsildar office where the ageing test will be done and later inspected in front of the District Collector.
