Authorities have stepped up security arrangements across West Bengal ahead of Ram Navami celebrations, with around 3,000 police personnel set to be deployed to maintain law and order.
A senior police official said restrictions have been imposed to ensure peaceful observance of the festival. The carrying of weapons during processions has been strictly prohibited, and the number of participants in each procession has been capped at 500.
“About 3,000 personnel will be deployed across the state, and no procession with more than 500 participants will be permitted,” the officer said. The measures come as part of preventive steps taken by the administration to avoid any untoward incidents during the celebrations.
