Calcutta High Court Permits Mamata Banerjee's Sreerampur Rally with Conditions
The Calcutta High Court has permitted former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to hold a political rally at Sreerampur Court Ground on September 26, replacing the previously allocated private venue. The court set a maximum attendance limit of 1,000 participants and fixed the meeting time from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., with no subsequent rally or procession allowed. The decision followed objections from the private landowner and state authorities, who cited security and permission concerns. The court emphasized protecting democratic rights and directed police to ensure security during the event.
