District commissioner Parag Kumar Kakati suggested that instead of holding separate puja events at multiple locations in Mangaldai, Kharupetia, Panbari, and Dalgaon, the festival would be more impactful if celebrated collectively at a single location in each town. He urged the Puja committees to consider this idea for future celebrations. Additionally, he instructed all Puja committees to arrange adequate lighting at the puja ghats and adhere strictly to other safety norms.
The district commissioner concluded by wishing everyone a happy Chhath Puja.
