Memorial for blackbuck killed by Salman
THE Bishnoi community in the Kankani village of Rajasthan’s Jodhpur district is constructing a huge memorial to honor the blackbuck killed by Bollywood actor Salman Khan 24 years ago.
The people of this village consider deer as their identity and says it is necessary for deer to survive. A grand monument and an animal rescue centre are being constructed at the same place where the deer was found dead. The memorial will be built in Kankani village at around 7 bigha land (a small portion of land).
A huge 3-feet statue of black deer weighing 800 kg will be erected at the site made of cement and iron bars, and a rescue centre will also be built for the treatment of animals and birds.
