Now that Durga Puja is over, what does one do with the world's tallest idol of Goddess Durga, the one that caused a near stampede at Deshapriya Park in south Kolkata and had to be shut to public? Well, the government has been persuaded to come to the rescue, it seems.

Congress MP Pradip Bhattacharya today demanded an inquiry into the issue of Deshapriya Park Puja, where Kolkata Police has "permanently" stopped the entry of people due to massive rush.

The world's tallest Goddess Durga has cast a shadow over Kolkata. She has been closed for public viewing. That is the latest decision of the Kolkata Police after a near stampede on Sunday evening at Deshapriya Park where the idol is installed.

In view of the massive rush almost leading to a stampede-like situation yesterday, Kolkata Police today "permanently" stopped the entry of people inside Deshapriya Park in south Kolkata to view the tallest Durga idol, citing security and safety reasons.

Made of cement, the idol at south Kolkata's Deshapriya park puja, is a huge crowd-puller this Durga puja. Over 40 artists worked for over two months to sculpt the gigantic model. Big B, whose wife Jaya is a Bengali, tweeted about the attraction and shared a photo of a traditional idol as well
