West Bengal Lifts Restrictions on Durga Puja Celebrations

West Bengal has officially lifted the restrictions that had curtailed Durga Puja celebrations across the state, a move confirmed by government official Adhikari.

Adhikari stated that the state is now ready to allow communities to resume their customary processions and rituals. The announcement is expected to enable local authorities to organize the festival with fewer limitations on attendance and public gatherings. The move is seen as a step toward normalizing cultural activities following the disruptions caused by recent public health measures.
