Durga Puja celebrations in West Bengal are a low-key affair this year because of deadly novel coronavirus outbreak which has affected people worldwide. Several state govts have issued specific guidelines for Durga Puja, Navratri and Ram Lila festivals.

The Calcutta High Court has ruled Durga Puja pandals across West Bengal as ‘no entry zones’ this year.
