Seamless Movement: Kolkata's Traffic Triumph Amid Martyrs' Day Rally

On Monday, Kolkata managed a remarkable feat of maintaining smooth traffic flow even as lakhs gathered for the ruling TMC's Martyrs' Day rally. A senior police officer reported no traffic jams, attributing this success to meticulous planning and deployment by the Kolkata Police.

Following a directive from the Calcutta High Court, police enforced several strategic traffic measures. With a focus on the central city region, the police ensured that movement was uninterrupted, demonstrating their commitment to the High Court's mandate. The officer affirmed that these efforts maintained seamless mobility across Kolkata and its environs.

Moreover, the Kolkata Police launched three helplines to assist commuters, reflecting their proactive approach to managing potential issues. Police Commissioner Manoj Verma emphasized their dedication to adhering to court orders, bolstering efforts to mitigate any rally-related disruptions. The annual event marks the tragic 1993 incident involving Youth Congress workers led by then-leader Mamata Banerjee.
