With every passing year the number of Durga Pujas in the state is increasing and so is the demand for more power, said power minister Aroop Biswas today, while announcing the measures the government is taking ahead of the pujas.
The city of joy has always been at the forefront of creativity. The yearly calendars, from corporate houses to government undertakings and private bodies, have been a fertile field to showcase talent.
“Over 125 illumination light artists and more than 10 thousand karigars are directly involved in the business but the present situation is so grave that many artists and karigars have opted for other means of livelihood. The abrupt decline in the illuminative light business has caused alarm and insecurity among those involved in the business.”
Though Malda people had to impatiently wait for the rains to stop, and when the downpour actually stopped, the puja organisers who hurriedly completed the remaining work have not let down visitors, as every pandal promises something different and innovative this year.
Sources said there are around 40 such roads, which included under the wards 18, 27,35,38,40,41,42,43 and some link roads also while around six mastic roads too need repairs.
The chief minister Mamata Banerjee, had given clear instructions that KMC must repair the roads and then settle the bill with the concerned agencies responsible for the maintenance of those roads.
