Kolkata, July 24: Student groups and activists in Kolkata consolidated separate demonstration plans into a unified procession from Sealdah Station to Esplanade to raise concerns over national examination processes. The joint movement brought together various youth organizations and supporters aligning with issues raised during recent national sit-ins.
“The decision to join the scheduled procession was taken to avoid administrative complications and reduce congestion,” organizers maintained while detailing the revised schedule.
Law enforcement authorities had advised against running two separate rallies along converging routes toward Esplanade, citing heavy traffic vulnerabilities on SN Banerjee Road and College Street. By aligning with an existing authorized route, participating groups ensured the assembly proceeded as scheduled while maintaining coordination with local municipal and traffic management officials.
