The Yogi Adityanath government has finally allowed Durga Puja celebrations with established safety protocols to curb the Coronavirus pandemic. Durga Puja pandals can now hold religious or cultural events in the open, provided all guidelines for Covid-19 containment, like social distancing and the wearing of masks is followed. A restriction on the number of people has also been imposed on events taking place in an enclosed space, where only 50 per cent of the hall`s capacity and up to a maximum of 200 people, will be allowed to attend. The new guidelines will come into force from October 15 and Navratri starts from October 17. The government decision has unleashed a wave of joy among the Durga Puja committees who have already plunged into making preparations for the festival.
