As celebration of Durga Puja has became a big challenge amid the COVID-19, Dibrugarh administration has decided to avoid idol worshipping this year.
"Due to COVID-19 this year, we held a meeting idol makers and puja committees.
They all agreed to avoid idol worshipping," said Deputy Commissioner, Pallav Gopal Jha.
Several puja pandals and sculptors also welcomed the decision.
Durga Puja will be celebrated in October.
