Police Notice to Puja Organiser Irks BJP Leaders

The Statesman Bhubaneswar

|

June 19, 2025

Kolkata Police (KP) on Tuesday served a notice to the Santosh Mitra Square Durga Puja, directing the organisers to ban installations of stalls at the puja pandal complex.

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

The Muchipara police station has directed the puja organiser Sajal Ghosh, a BJP MLC, to implement the directive for proper and peaceful crowd management at the Santosh Mitra Square venue during the four-day-long festival.

Mr Ghosh, one of the main organisers of the puja, has planned 'Operation Sindoor' theme for the festival this year.

The notice issued by the Muchipara PS also asked the organisers, saying: "The theme of this year's Puja must be shared in advance with police authorities to facilitate better planning and coordination."

The notice also told the organisers that they will not allow any light and sound show and Ferris wheel at the pandal. Cops will also not allow hawkers at the exit gate, which should be wider than the entrance.

Shelved Knowledge

Independent India did not consciously ratify Macaulay's contempt; it did something less dramatic and more durable. It allowed the colonial syllabus to survive by inertia. Two centuries on, an Indian school-leaver can recite Newton's three laws and the Krebs cycle, but has rarely been asked, even in passing, to open the Aryabhatiya, the Caraka Samhita or the Arthasastra
