Orissa High Court Issues Rules for Cuttack Durga Puja Celebrations
The Orissa High Court has made some rules for the Durga Puja festival in Cuttack.
They said that people can't build very tall gates or put up lights that block traffic.
The court wants to make sure that big structures are safe.
They also want to control the noise from loudspeakers so it doesn't get too loud.
Additionally, the police are told to stop people from forcing others to give money for the festival.
Orissa High Court has prohibited tall gates and light structures during Cuttack's Durga Puja.
The court's directive stems from a case concerning obstructive structures causing civic issues.
District Collector must ensure no traffic-obstructing structures are installed.
The district administration will monitor the safety of large installations.
Noise levels must be kept under 65 decibels during the Puja.
