AGARTALA, Oct 5 (TIWN): Although many Govt rules are made to prevent tortures in the name of puja donations, but paying a large amount of donation to the club members has become an accepted fate for middle class in Tripura.

It was said, doing extreme in the name of Puja donation is strictly prohibited for this Durga Puja-2016-------Tripura Police announced after a meeting held at Matangini Pritilata Hall.

Signed by SP West letter has been given to each and every clubs of Agartala saying that they can not do any unfair demands of  puja donation.

But rules are made for formality only as the preparation for Durga Puja says how much funds are being gathered by the club members collecting huge amounts of money from the people.

As a result whereas children, students, youths, club members are eagerly waiting for Durga Puja celebration, but Puja means different grown-ups who have to manage the puja budget amidst price hike, huge puja donation-demands.

Day by day the price of daily commodities are increasing including dress, food and other items. But there is no relief from the donation-demand by the club members.

The red eyes of the club members force to give one third of the employee’s salaries in the name of celebrating Durga Puja.

The donation was at the beginning was just a medium to seek help from public as per their ability, but now it has turned worse than Tax Collection during monarchy.

Rs. 3,000/-, Rs. 4,000/-, Rs. 10,000/- --the demand has no limit. Although from police side full support to the households are ensured, but the outrages in the name of donation continues.

Thus rather than enjoyment, Durga Puja has now become a horror for the common people. 

But the govt. could fix the budget or bringing a limitation to the budget.

In every places, CM propagates that NE Tripura has no money, to indicate why DA, Salary, REGA wage is less here.

But instead of all these, why Govt not bringing any limitation to Puja Budgets ? 

Some clubs in Agartala raised over a Rs 1 crore Puja 'Chanda' (forceful donations), but the Administration yet to take any actions against any club..
