60 Ram Navmi Rallies Expected in Kolkata, 29 IPS Officers Deployed
As the Hindu festival of Ram Navmi approaches, the West Bengal administration has taken a precautionary measure to ensure peace and prevent unrest across the state. In anticipation of the celebrations, 60 rallies are expected to take place in Kolkata alone, with 29 IPS officers assigned to key districts to maintain law and order.
Ram Navmi, which commemorates the birth of Lord Rama, is an important festival in Hindu mythology. The festival is celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm, with processions, rallies, and cultural events taking place across the state. However, in recent years, the celebrations have been marred by incidents of violence and unrest, prompting the administration to take extra measures to ensure public safety.
In a bid to prevent any untoward incidents, the West Bengal government has deployed 29 IPS officers across key districts, including Howrah, Hooghly, Barrackpore, Malda, Murshidabad, and Siliguri. These officers will remain on duty until Monday, covering the entire duration of the festival.
The deployment of IPS officers is a proactive measure aimed at preventing any potential law and order issues. The officers will work closely with local police and administrative officials to ensure that the celebrations pass off peacefully. The administration has also set up a special control room to monitor the situation and respond to any incidents that may arise.
The 60 rallies expected in Kolkata will be a major challenge for the administration, given the large number of people expected to participate. However, the deployment of IPS officers and the presence of additional police personnel will help to maintain order and prevent any incidents of violence.
The administration has also taken steps to ensure the safety of participants and spectators. Sufficient barricades and police personnel will be deployed at all rally points, while CCTV cameras will be installed to monitor the proceedings. The police will also be keeping a close eye on social media to prevent the spread of any inflammatory messages or rumors.
In addition to the rallies, cultural events and processions will also take place across the state, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of West Bengal. The administration has ensured that all necessary arrangements have been made to facilitate the smooth conduct of these events.
The deployment of IPS officers and the increased security measures are a testament to the administration’s commitment to ensuring public safety and preventing unrest. The people of West Bengal can rest assured that the authorities are taking all necessary steps to ensure a peaceful and enjoyable Ram Navmi celebration.
