puja traffic
The police said they are also likely to shut some smaller roads around Free School Street to allow revellers undisrupted access to another puja set to become big in the New Market area. Kolkata: With barely a week left for Bengal’s biggest festival, Kolkata Police is busy finishing its homework, the police meeting stretching late into Monday night. Allen Park — traditionally famous for its Christmas celebrations — is set to become a premier attraction this Durga Puja , hosting grand musical performances by star artistes and a prominent surprise performer whose identity remains undisclosed. To accommodate the massive crowds expected during the festive evenings, Kolkata Traffic Police is preparing to implement major vehicular diversions. Some bylanes around Baisnabghata will be shut and alternative routes carved out for the Upanagari puja that is already popular on social media. Similarly, pressure on Biren Roy Road – both East and West – is set to increase with two new biggies. The cops stated that the local police have been asked to identify alternative roads for two-wheelers here. Cops claim that Netaji Sarak, located at Muchipara off Siriti, is a major headache as it hardly has alternatives.
