Lionel Messi's 70-Foot Statue Removed in Kolkata After Residents Raise Safety Concerns

A giant 70-foot statue of football legend Lionel Messi has been removed from Kolkata's Lake Town area after residents raised concerns about its safety and stability. The statue, installed along VIP Road as a tribute to the FIFA World Cup-winning superstar, reportedly swayed during strong winds, prompting complaints to authorities. Following an inspection by the Public Works Department (PWD), officials found the structure's integrity compromised and ordered its removal to prevent any potential accident. The monument was built ahead of Messi's India visit and featured the Argentine captain holding the 2022 FIFA World Cup trophy.
