Kolkata police have initiated efforts to close down a Durga Puja pandal located at Santosh Mitra Square in Kolkata, specifically focused on the “Operation Sindoor” theme. Organisers of the pandal claim that police action constitutes an unwarranted obstruction to the festivities, which is attracting a large crowd due to its size within a narrow space. Police Commissioner stated that the primary concern is maintaining public safety and ensuring the wellbeing of attendees. The police have reported simply focusing on managing crowd density and potential risks, with no specific intent to shut down the event. The situation is currently under investigation.
