Grand Netaji Statue shall be constructed at the India Gate site in New Delhi.

A statue of freedom icon Subhash Chandra Bose shall be installed at India Gate in Delhi, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his twitter handle.

Until the statue is ready, a hologram of the Subhash Chandra Bose, also called as Netaji, will be put up at the spot, he said, sharing an image.

The Netaji statue will be 28 feet by 6 feet. It will stand at the spot that once featured a statue of England’s King George V. That statue was removed and shifted in 1968.

“At a time when the entire nation is marking the 125th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, I am glad to share that his grand statue, made of granite, will be installed at India Gate. This would be a symbol of India’s indebtedness to him,” the Prime Minister said in tweets.

“Till the grand statue of Netaji Bose is completed, a hologram statue of his would be present at the same place. I will unveil the hologram statue on 23rd January, Netaji’s birth anniversary,” he added.

Recently, the government announced that Netaji’s birth anniversary – January 23 – would mark the start of Republic Day celebrations instead of a day later.

In fact, Netaji’s birthday has also been termed as “Parakram Divas”.

Lal Salaam, an action-packed thriller, was launched by politician and former actor Smriti Zubin Irani at an evening hosted by the iconic Jaipur Literature Festival. The book was unveiled in the capital by Vir Sanghvi and S. Prasannarajan, Editor, Open Magazine, amidst a large number of book-lovers.

Inspired by the tragic killings of 76 CRPF personnel in Dantewada in April 2010, the book is a tribute to the exceptional men and women who have given a lifetime of service to the country, especially in confronting the challenges in the red corridor. Publishedby Westland Publications (an Amazon company), the book is now available on stores and online e-tailing platforms.

Expressing her views about the book, Smriti Zubin Irani said, “I write not to bore. For me, it was essential not to have a moment in the book where the readers felt the need to put down the book. I need to ensure that I capture the attention and imagination of my readers. I want them to enjoy and feel every emotion in the book. Before even writing the book, I had the entire plot in my mind and that didn’t change even once when I started to finally write. I finished the novel in eight months.”

The upcoming 15th edition of Jaipur Literature Festival, a haven for literature-lovers and festival-goers, will run on-ground from 28th January to 1st February 2022 and virtual sessions will go live from 28th January to 6th February with an extended online experience. The evening, celebrating the book Lal Salaam, was a pre-cursor to the upcoming Festival that will combine the optimism and the sheer joy that only books can bring – and deliver a unique experience both online & on-ground.

Lal Salaam is the story of a young officer, Vikram Pratap Singh, and the challenges an idealistic law-enforcer faces when the system is steeped in backroom politics and corruption. It is the gripping tale of a struggle against overwhelming odds, and of men and women who fight these odds with courage, ingenuity and resilience.

Dubai has always set records in every terms by bringing up the biggest building and biggest mall in the world. Now, it opened yet another architectural marvel up to the public- the deepest dive pool in the world. 

Located in Dubai’s Nad Al Sheba, the pool at Deep Dive Dubai extends to a breathtaking depth of 60.02 metres and contains 14 million litres of water.

With a staggering depth of 196 feet, the pool, part of the new Deep Dive Dubai attraction has stolen the record from Poland’s Deepspot, which has a depth of over 45 meters.

The Deep Dive Dubai pool is filled with 14 million liters of fresh water — the volume of six Olympic-sized swimming pools — and is at least four times bigger than any other diving pool in the world. Guinness awarded it the “Deepest swimming pool for diving” title on June 27.

The facility is open by invitation only for now but will open to the public later this year. 

Videos of the pool were shared online by Dubai crown prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. A keen diver, he was reportedly one of the first visitors and took to Twitter sharing a clip. “An entire world awaits you at Deep Dive Dubai the world’s deepest pool, with a depth of 60 meters,” he said in in posts. 

Water temperature is maintained at 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), a comfortable temperature for wearing a thin wetsuit or a swimsuit. 

Deep Dive Dubai is now open and offering a variety of experiences including discovery dives for first timers, scuba dives, freedives as well as diving courses and workshops on all levels of diving from beginner to technical instructors,” the pool’s website says.
