Every year, the electricity poses a major problem during the Durga puja celebrations – load shedding leads to untold miseries for not only the organizers but even the common man. Therefore, the initiative of some organizers to go in for alternative sources deserves to be lauded. They have installed solar panels and LEDs. Save power, save money is their common cry. Even with forecast of rains and cloudy skies, the organizers are not disturbed. They say that they would have reserve energies for three days and., later switch over to the DG sets. The pujas of the Maniktola Chaltabagan Lohapatty, College Square, Ahiritola Sarbojanin, Netaji Sporting Club of Lake Town and Kashi Bose Lane of Hedua are some important pujas that have gone the Solar and LED way this year.
