“Whether it is Ramleela or Durga Puja, both symbolise the victory of truth over falsehood and reflect India’s religious and social greatness,” Sachdeva said, adding that the committees played a vital role in keeping cultural traditions alive.
The meeting was attended by officials of Durga Puja Samitis from across Delhi, along with Bengal Cell leaders including in-charge Tapas Roy, convenor Kishore Tarafdar, co-convenor Arun Mukherjee and Delhi BJP Cell in-charge Ashok Thakur.
Sachdeva assured that the BJP would ensure timely administrative support to all Durga Puja Samitis in the city to facilitate the smooth conduct of festivities.
