, April 13 -- Artists at Dhaka University's Faculty of Fine Arts (Charukola) are working tirelessly to reconstruct the 'fascist effigy' that was set on fire just days ahead of the Pahela Baishakh celebrations marking the Bengali New Year 1432.

The effigy, which was the central attraction of this year's Ananda Shobhajatra (festive procession), was burned in a late-night act of vandalism.
