Durga puja pandals on various themes are ready to shine here and likely to attract devotees in large numbers. While some have kept it traditional, others went off the beat to give out a social message. One such pandal is coming up at Vikas Nagar, Sector-9, with its double theme moving around “recycle and reuse” and “women empowerment”.
This time, the organizers are using newspaper waste, unused bottles, tin and iron, old sarees, balls, glass bottles, and other unused household items for decoration. What is even more special is that a group of underprivileged school-going children is involved in the making process while using their handicraft skills which they are taught in a free school run by the Bal Shashwat Foundation run by Sumit Bhowmick. Children can be seen making birds and cages from newspapers and painting tin and tires to make a unique pandal in the city.
