About us
আমাদের কথা
Built by neighbours, run by neighbours
Salt Lake BE (East) Connect is the official digital platform of the Salt Lake BE (East) Puja Committee.
Who we are
The Salt Lake BE (East) Puja Committee began when residents held the block's first community Durga Puja. Nearly five decades later the same spirit runs the committee — voluntary, unpaid and answerable to the general body.
Every household in the block is a member. The elected committee serves the current term, meets regularly, and publishes accounts and minutes for residents to read.
Our biggest undertaking each year remains the community Durga Puja, run by resident volunteers, from the mandap design to the bhog kitchen.
