#DurgaPuja2022 Thread:

A compilation of pandals in & around #Kolkata with an unique theme or outstanding artwork!

1) Nawpara Dadabhai Sangha-
1st silicon murti in WB & perhaps country to depict Goddess Durga as a sex worker to change the social mindset & usher inclusivity.
2) Kakurganchi- #DurgaPuja depicting post poll violence, in memory of slain #BJP worker #AbhijeetSarkar whose family still awaits justice.
3) Sovabazar Rajbari: The first sarbojonin (public) #DurgaPujo of #Kolkata
4) Santosh Mitra Square- Red Fort comes to Kolkata to mark #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav
5) Ballygunge 21 Pally- A pandal for those who love to travel
6) Hindustan Park: An ode to the unsung daily wage earners who don’t have too many reasons to celebrate due to the lockdown.
7) Singhi Park- In honour of cartoonist Narayan Debnath who passed away earlier this year- Nonte Phonte recreated
8) Ekdalia Evergreen has recreated a southern temple also the puja of late #SubrataMukherjee
9) Mukundupur- The transgender community worships ‘ardhanariswar’ half nari, half purush power.
Last but not the least, a new friend was made who did pandal hopping with me.

Hope you all enjoy this thread as much as I did visiting these beautiful pandals.

#DurgaPujo story also coming up on @ThePrintIndia :)

THREAD: Why is DISCHARGE numbers higher than positive #Covid19 cases in #WestBengal?
Why there’s nothing to celebrate yet!

Revised policy by @ICMRDELHI says mild & moderate patients can be DISCHARGED if they don’t have fever for 3 days & their oxygen saturation isn’t below 95%
#WestBengal Govt in sync with @ICMRDELHI guidelines decided that mild, moderate & asymptomatic #Covid patients can be discharged without testing with a week-long self-isolation protocol at home. This to make beds available for critical patients with rising numbers.
According to @wbdhfw the improved numbers of patients discharged compared to the total active cases are not reflected in #Kolkata. In Kolkata, the state data says, 1,548 people have been discharged and there are 2,097 active cases.

#WestBengal CM @MamataOfficial: Telecommunication is bad even in Secretariat nothing is working. In this situation who is forcing people to ptotest on road? It will take time this is not like a normal day. In districts several houses been completely damaged. (Cont)
CM @MamataOfficial: I am appealing to people- don't come on road just by listening to some others. Let us do our work peacefully. #Kolkata corporation commissioner has been removed yesterday new one has been appointed.

#CyclonAmphan
CM @MamataOfficial: there’s no electricity & water in pockets of #Kolkata. Unnecessarily some are creating unrest. This is not the time for all this. #CESC is pvt co. This is not in our hands. Due to Corona. Lots have gone home & there is less manpower. You have to understand.
