Bokaro: Since
Durga Puja and
Muharram are on the same days, the district administration wants to ensure the celebrations are completed peacefully. The
DC on Saturday directed puja committees to ensure immersion of the idols on October 11. "The procession of Muharram will be taken out on October 12. We have asked the puja committees to complete the immersion by October 11 to maintain law and order.
Police officers and magistrates will be deployed at all points. They have been instructed to take notice of even small issues to maintain peace during the festive season," said the DC after a meeting with police officers and administrative officials.
The district administration also asked the puja committees not to play vulgar songs on loudspeakers in puja pandals. "Playing indecent songs is banned in puja pandals. The puja committees have been asked to maintain decency by not playing raunchy Bhojpuri or
Bollywood songs which violates the code of decency and hurts people's sentiments," said DC Rai Mahimapat Ray. tnn
