**HOLI CHEER:** JDU MLA Shyam Rajak celebrates Holi with girls from an orphanage in Patna on Sunday. The Phulwarisharif MLA organised a "Holi Milan samaroh" for girls from Sankriti Foundation, a Patna-based NGO, at his official residence 20 A Hardinge Road. Rajak, the national general secretary of his party, said normally people celebrate the festival of colours with their near and dear ones but celebrating it with orphaned girls boosts his morale. Around 100 girls aged between 10 and 15 years gathered at his residence and greeted him with gulal. A cultural programme was organised where local artistes performed Holi songs. Rajak also gifted the girls books to study, and hosted a lunch.
