Agartala Sept 01: Residents and Club authorities of Usha Bazar area on Sunday gathered together to clean the Club premises aiming to organize Durga Puja like other years.

The locals expressed their determination to hold the festival despite facing obstacles from the administration.

According to the residents, Sunday as they gathered to clear up the club premises, the administration created hurdles for the club authorities and local residents in their efforts.

“For more than 30 years we locals have been worshipping goddess Durga and celebrate the 4-day festivity with pomp and show. But this year, our Club building was demolished by the administration. To maintain the tradition, we urge the concerned administration to give us permission for organizing Durga Puja this year”, said one of the locals.

They also mentioned that, despite submitting petitions to various authorities requesting permission to conduct the Durga Puja on a small scale, they have yet to receive any response from the administration.

Emphasizing the cultural and religious significance of the festival, the residents remain hopeful and committed to celebrating Durga Puja.
