I appeal to all the Durga Puja committees to take a leaf out of Bondhu Mahal and utilise the money they save from Puja in such functions,” she said and added that feliciaition of teachers was also a noble cause because as Minister I know many primary teachers are paying from their pockets to provide furniture in the school. .
