Amid sharply rising Covid-19 cases in the State capital, Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner Prem Chandra Chaudhary on Tuesday informed that celebration of Pana Sankranti on Wednesday would be restricted across the city. “As per the guidelines issued by the Special Relief Commissioner (SRC), there will be no Pana Sankranti celebration at public places in Bhubaneswar.
However, sevayats will be allowed to perform normal rituals at temples on the occasion,” BMC Commissioner said. Large-scale congregation of devotees at temples and ‘Pana’ distribution at public places would not be allowed in city, he added.
