Secretary of Jhalukpara Durga Puja committee Binay Garodia said this year’s theme is based on the environment and all materials used in decoration of the pandal are eco-friendly.
“This year, our theme is based on the environment and we have used all eco-friendly materials to decorate the pandal. Our pandal has been decorated mostly with tree parts,” he said.
Garodia said the puja committee is optimistic about the puja revellers appreciating the theme.
“We are hopeful that people will like our theme. Recently, we witnessed the sudden change in weather with the maximum temperature touching 40 degrees Celsius in Dibrugarh. It is due to the effects of global warming. To save the planet, we need to focus on planting more trees,” he added.
