Sivasagar Durga Puja Committees Cancel Cultural Events After Flood Devastation
Following devastating floods in Assam's Sivasagar and Charaideo districts that caused over 100 deaths, Durga Puja committees in Sivasagar have decided to cancel cultural events this year. Committees including Amolapatty Hindu Dharma Samaj Namghar Samity and Barowari Puja Committee will observe the festival with traditional rituals only, foregoing cultural programmes as a mark of respect. Other local committees, including the historic 297-year-old Durga Puja at Devi Doul, have also scaled back festivities.
