AGARTALA, Sep 25 (TIWN): Although many rules are made to prevent tortures in the name of puja donations, but to pay a large amount of donation to the club members has become a culture in Tripura.

 It was said doing extreme in the name of Puja donation is strictly prohibited for this Durga Puja-2016-------Tripura Police announced after a meeting held at Matangini Pritilata Hall.

 Singed by SP West letter has been given to each and every clubs of Agartala saying that they can not do any unfair in demand of donation.

But rules are made for formality as the preparation for Durga Puja says how much funds are gathering by the club members by collecting huge amount of money from the people.

 As a result whereas children, students, youths, club members are eagerly waiting for Durga Puja celebration, but Puja means different grown-ups who have to manage the puja budget amidst price hike, huge puja donation-demands.

Day by day the price of daily commodities are increasing including dress, food and other items. But there is no relief from the donation-demand by the club members.

The red eyes of the club members force to give one third of the employee’s salaries in the name of celebrating Durga Puja.

The donation was at the beginning was just a medium to seek help from public as per their ability, but now it has turned worse than Tax Collection during monarchy.

Rs. 3,000/-, Rs. 4,000/-, Rs. 10,000/- --the demand has no limit. Although from police side full support to the households are ensured, but the outrages in the name of donation continues.

Thus rather than enjoyment, Durga Puja has now become a horror for the common people. 

But the govt. could fix the budget bringing a limitation to the budget. In every places, CM propagates that NE Tripura has no money, to indicate why DA, Salary, REGA wage is less here. But instead of all these, why CM doesn’t bringing any limitation to Puja Budget. Some clubs in Agartala touches around crores of budget, but the poor Chief Minister yet to take any action against it.
