‘Remove puja banners, frames by weekend’

The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has started sending notices to Durga Puja committees, asking them to remove bamboo structures that hold banners and flexes. The Mayor expressed his disappointment over the delay in removing these structures, as they are causing hindrance to traffic management. If the structures are not removed by the weekend, the civic body will do the work and confiscate the bamboo. The Mayor also raised concerns about the restoration of roads that were dug up for pandals and illumination, urging for them to be repaired promptly.
