Dear Client, as per your query, in Gopalpur, Cuttack, chanda or donation is in no way compulsory in any circumstances. The Odisha Police have a zero-tolerance policy against this illegal practice and have clearly stated that no individual or puja committee has a right to harass or compel people to donate money to them. If you are being coerced or compelled to pay chanda, know that you are protected by law. You can immediately report this to the Cuttack Commissionerate Police through their helplines or their emergency number 112. Your identity shall be kept confidential to ensure your security as they take strict legal action against these illegal money collectors. I hope this answer is helpful. In case of further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank You.
