This year, we have built 20 small idols (under five feet) from Dewi.
But because the government has not published the guidelines for the Government This year, there are no Puja committees that have commanded orders.
Now, I have almost 50 idols and bank loans approach RS 18 lakh and I do not know what to do, “said Pal to Ti at the Peace-based road workshop on Sunday.
The Puja Committee, idols, pandal makers and flower shops with enthusiasm waiting for the Jharkhand government to be clean in Durga Puja, which is a little more than 45 days.
“We have not been able to plan anything related to Durga Puja.
The meeting of the Committee members is scheduled for August 15, but then we get the news that the guidelines will be issued soon.
But there is nothing from the government so far,” Ashok Choudhary, President of the Bakri Committee Puja bazaar, told toi.
Suresh Agarwal, President of the Committee of Satya Amar Lok Puja at Harmu Road, said: “Pandal building and idols need time.
It can’t happen in a matter of days.
If the guidelines are not initially released, how will we make arrangements?” By 2020, the committee The leading Puja in the city unanimously agreed to cut the splendor of each puec and made arrangements by raising money in their members.
