April 16, 2025

Siliguri Mayor Goutam Deb held an urgent meeting with SGF leaders, after which they agreed to postpone the rally, especially in light of the chief minister's assurance to look into the matter

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

A Muslim organisation named Sunni Gausiya Foundation (SGF) has deferred its proposed protest rally against the amended Waqf Act, which was scheduled to take place in the Dabgram-Fulbari area tomorrow near Uttarkanya under the Siliguri Police Commissionerate.

The decision came after objections and appeals from various quarters. SGF leaders announced the rally yesterday.

Siliguri mayor Goutam Deb, who was attending several events, including the Bengali New Year celebrations organised by the Corporation, held an urgent meeting with SGF leaders midday today in an effort to pacify them. Following the discussion, the SGF leadership agreed to defer the protest scheduled for tomorrow.
