With the arrival of autumn, a sense of festivities is round the corner and especially when the festival of Durga puja knocks the door. Durga Puja is no longer celebrated only in temples or confined to its rituals. Today, Durga Puja has taken shape of big festival which is being celebrated across communities and among various organisations. There has been an air of competitions among the Puja organisers in terms of their creativity in lightings, pandals or idols. In doing so the organisers seem to ignore or neglect the aspect of pollution and end up
risking the environment.So, to imbibe a sense of responsibility and true spirit of ethical Puja, ‘MyGov Assam’ is seeking suggestion from the citizen of Assam at large on how organiser can go for ‘Clean Puja - Green Puja’ to encourage the organisers of Durga Puja in Assam to demonstrate and maintain eco-friendly and hazard-free environment with their innovative themes and contribute to the ‘Swachha Bharat Abhiyan’

4. The committee must ensure safety and security of the visitors/devotees within the premises.
5. The type of color in the idols and nature of light to be used in the premises should be defined by the Govt.
6. Violating these rules/guidelines should entail forfeit the security deposit by the committee and other penalty as defined by the govt.

Each puja committee should be enforced to take the following responsibilities:
1. Each Puja committee should have a govt. registration number for which govt (Home department)should define a common structure format for the committee.
2. The radius (physical area) of the puja location should be defined by the govt. for vesting the responsibility to the committee on this premises.
3. The committee must keep the area neat and clean, free from any noise (beyond permissible level (cont.)

Here are a few suggestions from my end:
Make it mandatory for all Puja Mandaps to be environment friendly -
a) only natural colors/materials to be used in making the idols
b) no plastics allowed (in Puja, bhog etc),
c) restrict the use of fancy lights (use less electricity)
d)Segregate trash using multiple trash bins and dispose these off as per policy.

Give incentives for following the above and impose heavy penalty for violating them.

If you ever peep behind every food stalls near the Durga puja pandals, you’ll see loads of trash lying there. Definitely there are bins near the food stalls or pandals, but people visiting there hardly care! They just want to gulp the food and throw the paper plates here and there. So, people try to keep Bharat swacch!
