Event Summary

The India — Calcutta High Court directed the India — Kolkata Police to allow the Mamata Banerjee-led faction of the India — Trinamool Congress to hold its July 21 Martyrs' Day rally near the Birla Planetarium instead of the traditional Victoria House venue. The court cited traffic and law-and-order concerns, noting two other rallies scheduled nearby. The rally is capped at 2,500 participants and must be held between 12 noon and 3:30 pm. The court also directed police to deploy adequate personnel. The TMC faction had challenged a prohibitory order under Section 163 of the BNSS around Victoria House. The India — West Bengal government opposed the rally near other events, citing potential law-and-order issues.
