Go pandal-hopping only after weather clears up : Mamata

Kolkata: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has asked pandal-hoppers in the city to take up their venture only after there is improvement in the weather.

The Chief Minister assured she has got the information that the weather condition will improve from Saturday. She inaugurated the Durga Puja at Suruchi Sangha on Friday afternoon.

Banerjee said some pandals have been damaged in West Midnapore and the district administration will help the Puja organisers affected by the storm. "I feel for those whose pandals have been affected and I have instructed the administration to help the organisers," she said.

A video CD containing the theme songs of Suruchi Sangha, which Banerjee had composed between 2015–18, was released on Friday. Banerjee has also composed this year's song for the club-Joy Ma Joy Durga, a duet by Indranil Sen and Lopamudra Mitra.
