KOLKATA: The judge of the Calcutta High Court, who imposed restrictions last week on Trinamool Congress’ annual Martyrs’ Day rally, praised the Kolkata Police on Monday for ensuring smooth traffic flow during the busy office hours when thousands of the party supporters were marching towards the rally venue in central Kolkata.
Considering that the period between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. is the pick office hour, the single-judge bench of Justice Tirthankar Gosh, last week, directed the city police commissioner Manoj Kumar Verma to ensure that the processions towards the rally venue do not impact smooth traffic movement in the city, especially in areas around the rally venue.
On Monday, based on the feedback received from the legal fraternity, Justice Ghosh complimented the Kolkata Police for ensuring the implementation of the order for smooth traffic movement during those two hours.
