Durga Puja 2020: Bengal pandals to be no-entry zones for visitors, orders Calcutta High Court

Only organisers would be allowed to enter the pandals and their names would be dislayed outside, the high court ordered.

All the Durga Puja pandals in West Bengal will be no-entry zone for visitors and only organizers will allowed to enter the pandals amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Calcutta High Court ordered on Monday. The names of people allowed to enter the pandals will be displayed outside it, the Calcutta High Court said. 

The court also highlighted that five metres beyond the extremities of the small pandals and 10 metres beyond the bigger pandals are to be barricaded and demarcated as no entry zones.

This direction will apply to all the 34,000 Durga Puja pandals in the state.
