A group of Trinamool Congress MPs on Thursday protested in front of the canopy at India Gate where the hologram of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose that was unveiled recently had been switched off, saying that he had been blacked out.
Senior Culture Ministry officials said the hologram had been switched off due to the rain which could lead to a short-circuit, and wind which would lead to a distortion of the image. The officials said the wind speed up to 15 kmph on Thursday would have affected the thin screen onto which the hologram was projected. An official said the hologram, which is switched on after sundown, was working on Wednesday night and would be switched on again on Thursday night, weather permitting.
