Paroma Statue

In Kolkata, the landmark that vanished into thin air brought outraged protestors out on the streets on Thursday, slamming the government for its callous attitude towards the artist who created it and towards the citizens.

A landmark of Kolkata has just vanished. The towering 30-foot Paroma statue - one of the biggest pieces of the city's public art which stood for 27 years on the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass - disappeared probably on Monday night. A heap of rubble is all that's left.
