Nirav Modi’s 58-feet tall effigy to be burnt on Holi
Mumbai: In a unique way to vent out their ire against PNB scam accused NIrav Modi, the residents of BDD Chawl in Mumbai's Worli area have created a 58-feet high effigy of the accused, symbolising the evil character of Holika, to burn it as a part of the Holi festival's tradition.
The residents have said the effigy was not created by any ace artist, but was made by the residents themselves.
The Mumbaikars have also considered the environmental factor in mind and have made the giant structure by using less wood and more of dry grass.
Organisers also claimed that it is the highest Holi replica in India this year.

US VP JD Vance says Lebanon not part of ceasefire, calls it ‘misunderstanding’
Budapest/Washington: US Vice President J D Vance has said that Lebanon was never included in the ceasefire understanding with Iran, describing the confusion as a “legitimate misunderstanding”.
Speaking to reporters before departing from Hungary, Vance said, “I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn’t. We never made that promise.”
He stressed that the United States had not included Lebanon in the scope of the ceasefire at any stage.
His remarks come amid continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, where more than 200 people were reported killed, even as ceasefire talks between Iran and the US move forward.
Vance said Israel had “offered … to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful”.
He warned that if Iran allows the situation in Lebanon to affect the negotiations, it could derail the talks.
“If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that’s ultimately their choice,” he said.
