HC overturns WB govt ban on Durga idol immersion on Muharram
The Calcutta High Court on Thursday set aside the West Bengal government's restrictions on Durga idol immersion. The state had banned all idol immersion after 10 pm on September 30, the last day of the five-day Durga Puja, and on October 1 on account of Muharram. The HC asked the administration to ensure separate routes for immersion and Muharram processions.
