AGARTALA, Oct 4 (TIWN): Artisans are busy shaping the Durga idols ahead of Durga puja in Ambassa.

Preparations across the state are going on in full wave.

In Ambassa, however, businessmen, sellers and even musical instrument players have alleged losses and down business in the festival season but still preparations are on peak.
