New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Indian American State Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar unveiled a new Mahatma Gandhi statue, more than a year after the previous one was vandalized twice outside a Hindu temple in the state. Located in front of Shri Tulsi Mandir on 111th Street in Richmond Hill, the Gandhi statue was knocked over, spray painted with the word “dog”, and battered with a sledgehammer on August 3 and 16, 2022.
