Calcutta High Court Considers Alternative Venues for TMC Martyrs' Day Rally
The Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress faction requested the Calcutta High Court to allow its July 21 Martyrs' Day rally near Victoria House, a traditional venue since 1993. The court declined this, citing traffic concerns on Chittaranjan Avenue, and suggested alternative locations such as near Birla Planetarium or Metro Channel. The faction challenged a police prohibitory order around Victoria House, noting that other rallies by rival groups have police permission on the same day. The hearing was adjourned for government input on venue proposals.
