- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

With Ram Navami scheduled for Sunday, security across West Bengal has been significantly ramped up. In Kolkata alone, between 3,500 and 4,000 police personnel will be deployed to maintain law and order, while 29 IPS officers have been assigned special responsibilities throughout the state, police sources said.

There will be several mega rallies by the Trinamul Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party in the city. Around 59 organisers have appealed to the police for organising processions in the city. Senior officers of the ranks of joint commissioners, deputy commissioners (DCs), and assistant commissioners (ACs) will be stationed along major routes where processions are expected. Special picketing, deployment of drone surveillance, CCTV monitoring, and videography will be carried out to keep vigil over the events.
