A day ahead of Mahasashti, the Calcutta High Court on Wednesday partially relaxed its order in which it previously declared all Durga Puja pandals as no-entry zones for visitors amid the on-going Covid-19 pandemic.
After Durgotsav Forum -- an umbrella body of 400-strong Durga Puja organisers in Kolkata -- appealed for a review of the order, the court on Wednesday allowed entry of up to 45 people at a time.
