Kolkata: Tensions prevailed in the West Bengal administrations over the call for a \u2018Nabanna Abhijan\u2019 or march to Nabanna (state secretariat) in Kolkata on Tuesday, August 27, demanding the resignation of chief minister Mamata Banerjee over the alleged rape and murder of a 31-year-old woman trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.<\/p>\n
While students\u2019 organisation \u2018Paschimbanga Chhatro Samaj\u2019 insisted that its August 27 \u2018Nabanna Abhijan\u2019 rally will be peaceful and focused on demanding the resignation of Mamata Banerjee and the arrest of those responsible for the rape-murder case, additional commissioner of police Kolkata Supratim Sarkar on Monday said it has rejected an application by the group to hold the march.<\/p>\n
The call for Nabanna Abhijan was separately given by an unregistered students\u2019 body Paschim Banga Chhatra Samaj (West Bengal Students Community) and the Sangrami Joutha Mancha (Joint Platform of Struggle), an organisation of state government employees who have been agitating since long demanding their DA to be made at par with their central government counterparts.<\/p>\n
The West Bengal Police has called the scheduled rallies, support for which has been mainly garnered over social media platforms, as \u201cillegal\u201d and \u201cunauthorised\u201d, and said it has taken necessary precautions to allay apprehensions about potential law and order situations during the march.<\/p>\n
Chatra Samaj spokesperson Sayan Lahiri claimed that the march to state secretariat Nabanna would not inconvenience candidates of UGC-NET as the examination would be held in two shifts. The UGC-NET, which is used to determine eligibility for appointment as assistant professors in colleges and universities as well as junior research fellowship (JRF), will be held in two sessions \u2013 from 9.30am to 12.30pm and from 3pm to 6pm.<\/p>\n
Addressing reporters at Nabanna, ADG (law and order) Manoj Verma said police have received credible intelligence suggesting attempts would be made by miscreants to mix among protestors and incite large-scale violence and chaos during the rally, news agency PTI reported. The state government has already imposed prohibitory orders near Nabanna under Section 163 of BNSS preventing the assembly of five or more persons, it added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
