Faith may be personal but festivals are universal: Mamata Banerjee on Durga puja celebrations

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, while announcing financial aid for Durga puja committees, urged organisers to ensure adherence to Covid norms during the celebrations in October.

Faith may be personal but our festivals are universal, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee said on Tuesday. She further appealed to the people of the state to follow Covid-19 protocols during the upcoming Durga puja celebrations. Durga puja is scheduled to be held between October 11 and October 15 of this year. With the threat of a third wave of Covid-19 infections looming large, Durga puja committees are wary of going ahead with their plans.
