Community service, security boost, crowd control top clubs' Durga Puja grant spend wish list in Kolkata
Kolkata: Chief minister Mamata Banerjee's announcement of an increased grant of Rs 1.1 lakh to each registered Durga Puja committee in the state has added to the festive fervour. This move has been welcomed by organisers and the larger puja fraternity at a time when artisans are busy giving shape to Durga idols and pandals across the city. The announcement, an increase from last year's Rs 85,000, has sent the city's thousands of puja committees to the table to plan how to spend the money in the most efficient way. While the lights, pandals, and processions will certainly dazzle, organisers are prioritising security, crowd management, and community engagement this year. Part of the funds will also go towards increasing the pay of sanitation workers, electricians, and other essential service providers during the festival. Bhowanipur 75 Palli will spend the grant on promoting the 'Save Drive, Save Life' campaign, besides endorsing Bengal as a tourist destination. "We will put in place healthcare facilities," said Subir Das, secretary of the puja committee. The increased funding will also allow committees to enhance safety measures without compromising on artistic creativity, organisers said.

Gourab Biswas of United Club in Baguiati said the organisers would use the funds to increase fire safety measures in the pandal, insure the puja, and distribute clothes, books, and sweets among underprivileged children. "We will also use the funds to sensitise people about malaria and dengue," said Biswas. "We plan to use the funds to hire additional security personnel and grant will help us do that without cutting corners," said an organiser. The increased fund would help organisers of Durga Puja in Mohammad Ali Park to organise the festival efficiently, said Ashok Ojha, Joint Secretary of the Mohammad Ali Park Durga Puja committee.

Cody Rhodes (Image Source: Getty) WWE SummerSlam 2025 is the 38th annual event, which is not only a normal wrestling card, but also a two-night run of their top stars. We expect the show's official Kickoff pre‑show to begin on Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3, shortly after midnight, giving fans one last chance to listen to the Superstars before the whole thing goes down on Friday night, August 1. Held for the first time as a two-night attraction, the weekend spectacle is set to happen at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. What day and time will the Kickoff Show take place The Kickoff Show is the preshow on a traditional WWE level that takes place on the promotion's official YouTube channel, which allows final promos, interviews, and analysis to hit the fans before the main card blows open. It is expected to stream live on the evening of Friday, August 1 (at around 10 pm BST), which would be Friday evening across most of the U.S. time zones. WWE has not officially announced the exact times for the entire world, but the Kickoff is usually held about one hour before the main card, acting as the appetizer for the weekend event.
