- AGENCIES

Mid experiences of clashes in different pockets in West Bengal over Ram Navami processions in the past, Kolkata Police have decided to bring the routes this year on 6 April under blanket CCTV coverage.

Accordingly, communication has reached from the city police headquarters to the police stations concerned, under whose jurisdictions the processions will move, to immediately survey the working conditions of the CCTV installations in those routes.

The reports from the police station, an insider from the city police said, will have to detail the existing working conditions of CCTV cameras already installed in those routes.
