Summary:
Kolkata: An association of Durga Puja organisers in the city on Tuesday filed a petition before the Calcutta High Court seeking "minor modifications" to its order that marquees be made "no-entry zones" to prevent the spread of Covid. A division bench of justices Sanjib Banerjee and Arijit Banerjee had on Monday ordered that barricades be put up around all the Durga Puja marquees in the state to prevent the entry of anyone barring a few Puja committeemembers. He submitted before the court of Justice Sanjib Banerjee that the order was passed without hearing out the puja committees as they were not a party to the case. The forum also sought the court's guidance on conducting community 'pushpanjali' rituals by adhering to the order, one of its founder members, Partha Ghosh, said. But, with the court's order, there is a possibility of crowding near the marquees and visitors bumping into one another..
