Bengal Durga Puja Pandal Partially Retained to Protect Nesting Doves
In Bengal's Hooghly district, members of the Sukanta Smriti Sangha in Chinsurah have postponed dismantling part of their Durga Puja pandal to protect a nesting pair of doves incubating four eggs. While most of the pandal was taken down following festival conclusion and administrative deadlines, the section sheltering the nest remains intact to ensure the birds' safety until the chicks hatch and are ready to fly. Organisers plan to assist the doves in relocating after the nesting period.
