The Left Front's much-anticipated Brigade Parade Ground rally is scheduled for Sunday, with preparations now in their final stages. Despite being held on a weekend, which is expected to ease some of the pressure on regular commuters, the Kolkata Police is gearing up for significant traffic disruptions across the city.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has planned seven major rallies that will converge at Brigade from key points like Howrah and Sealdah railway stations and various locations across Kolkata. According to Lalbazar sources, gatherings will start from Park Circus Maidan, Kidderpore Crossing, Victoria House, Exide Crossing, and other designated areas, from where Left supporters will march towards the Brigade ground.
In anticipation of the large-scale movement of people, around 900 police personnel will be deployed to maintain law and order.
Senior traffic officers will be stationed in sensitive zones to manage traffic flow, with the possibility of road closures in areas such as Chittaranjan Avenue, Ashutosh Mukherjee Road, Red Road, Park Street, Jawaharlal Nehru Road, AJC Bose Road, and CIT Road.

The drain on the US economy is bound to bleed its already stretched coffers and strained economy. The Chinese are yet again sitting out of the conflict militarily, and protecting their economy (barringtheglobal impact) and their military wherewithal. If anything, the Chinese are also milkingthe opportunity afforded by the Trump-Netanyahu brazenness to take a rare moral high ground. The attack on Iran has further strengthened the Chinese equation with Russia, as they jointly callout the unwarranted belligerence by the US
