Assam: On Friday, the city of Guwahati and Jorhat witnessed the auspicious day of Vijayadashami where a large number of devotees were seen bidding farewell to Maa Durga without masks and social distancing.
Reportedly, there were many instances where devotees were seen flocking all the COVID-19 protocols.
Although the GoAhad released a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Vijayadashami as well for the celebration of Durga Puja, several devotees were seen not adhering to covid appropriate behaviour in various places of Assam.
Meanwhile, many netizens have raised their concern on how this can lead to the rise of covid-19 cases or bring the third wave of coronavirus.
