#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.

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.
