Tribune News Service
Amritsar, October 25
Amid the Covid threat, the Dasehra celebrations remained a low-key affair this year. A 15-ft effigy of Ravana was put to flames. Sanjay Mehra, executive member of the Durgiana Committee, said no big function was organised in any part of the city today. The Covid guidelines, including social distancing, were strictly followed. He said as per the age-old tradition, ‘mannat’ (vows) of the langoor was considered complete after they bowed before the effigy of Ravana on Dasehra. Otherwise, they pay obeisance at the Bara Hanuman temple everyday during Navratras.
