SHILLONG: The Khasi Students’ Union warned of action if the mural of Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty is not removed.
In a letter to the Director of Arts and Culture and the Deputy Commissioner, East Khasi Hills, the environment and cultural protection cell of the KSU, demanded the mural of Bollywood actor and others to be erased.
The KSU argued such murals by artistes of the Shillong Street Art Festival that do not depict the cultural tradition of the indigenous people should be erased.
The union encouraged the artistes to paint murals of Khasi freedom fighters, Tirot Sing Syiem, Kiang Nangbah and others.
The union said it will resort to other means to ensure the murals are erased if the state government authorities do not erase them.
