The Assam government has issued a set of guidelines for a subdued Durga Puja celebration with a view to minimising infection by the novel coronavirus.
Puja pavilions will have to be open with entry and exit gates and all members of the puja committees as well as priests and visitors will have to undergo COVID-19 tests before and after the puja. A maximum of 50 people would be allowed at a pavilion at a time.
