Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha said his government would take action against anyone forcing people to pay subscriptions for Durga puja. He said he was disturbed by reports of collection of donations from transporters ahead of the festival.
“I am not only condemning it, but also assuring action against perpetrators”, he said while addressing an event on Wednesday. He condemned those extorting money.
He went on to say that a mere condemnation will not be enough unless action follows. He asserted that “an old practice should be stopped and we will stop it.”
