Bhubaneswar: Durga Puja Festival ends on Friday with idols that are followed on Saturdays.
Immersion occurs without music or fireworks and under strict administrative obligations.
Due to Covid restrictions, there are very few spectators on the roadside and Ghats.
Civil bodies in twin cities Cuttack and Bhubaneswar make arrangements to immerse idols in artificial ponds to prevent polluting the body of water.
“We pray Dewi to remove Covid-19 from the world and make everyone safe.
This is not the way we have to bid Adieu to Dewi Durga,” said Pradip Bara, a member of the Rasulgarh Committee Durga Puja.
In accordance with Covid guidelines, the maximum of seven members of the Puja Committee are permitted to be present during dyeing.
Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has made four artificial ponds – two in Kuaihai Riverside and each in Tanka Pani Road and River Power.
All pools while around 7 to 8 feet.
BMC has sucked a line department such as police, fire and odraf for the collaboration needed during dyeing.
The BMC staff deployed near the pool, which will be cleaned by a sanitation team on Sunday.
Similarly, Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) identified six places for immersion Durga Idols – Devi Gada, Chahata, Kartikeshwara Gada, Ghata Kula and places near the Jobra Museum.
“Previously, Durga Puja was ordered by more than 100 committees in the capital city, but because of the restrictions of Covid, that number dropped to half,” said Satya Prakas Das, a member of the Saheed Nagar Durga Puja committee.
