The announcement made by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee regarding the ₹5,300 Durga Puja bonus for civic volunteers of the West Bengal Police and Kolkata Police, as well as ASHA workers employed under the health department, demonstrates the government’s recognition of the efforts put in by these essential workers.
It is unfortunate that certain groups are attempting to create divisions and conflicts among different cadres of the police force. The assurance provided by the Chief Minister regarding the Puja bonus for the civic volunteers of the West Bengal Police, similar to their counterparts in the Kolkata Police, aims to promote unity and solidarity within the law enforcement community.
As preparations for Durga Puja are in full swing in West Bengal, the theme chosen by the ‘Picnic Garden 39 pally Durga Puja Samiti’ this year, focusing on Farmers’ Rights, reflects the commitment to highlighting the challenges faced by the agricultural community.
Durga Puja holds immense cultural and religious significance, not just for the Hindu community but for all Indians. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil and is celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm across the country. The festival embodies values such as compassion, brotherhood, and the richness of art and culture.
As the festivities commence, it is essential to embrace the spirit of togetherness and harmony that Durga Puja represents, fostering a sense of unity and understanding among communities.
