Cuttack: The Orissa High Court today allowed nine Durga Puja Committees in Cuttack to continue with a height of the idols which were more than the 4-feet-height as regulated by the state government.
The court’s direction came after a status report was submitted by the Advocate General.
Earlier, the state government had limited the height of the idols to less than 4 feet in view of the Covid-19 pandemic situation.
The Orissa High Court has however said that: the permission to the nine committees cannot be construed as an example and secondly, the immersion has to be carried out by the administration.
