Calcutta High Court Allows Mamata Banerjee's Public Meeting in Sreerampur, Bans Procession
The Calcutta High Court permitted former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to hold a public meeting in Hooghly's Sreerampur on September 11, limiting attendance to 2,000 people and banning a procession along GT Road due to traffic and safety concerns. The court emphasized that no inflammatory remarks should be made and directed police to ensure order. The decision followed a petition challenging police refusal of procession permission, with the state citing narrow roads and communal sensitivity as reasons for denial.
