Police, administration have to remain watchful ahead of festive season: Mamata

Darjeeling: On the heels of the Kajipara blast, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday ordered the police and administration to be more vigilant and proactive, especially during the forthcoming festive season.

The Chief Minister arrived on a two day tour of North Bengal on Wednesday. Addressing the gathering at the inaugural programme of 'Bhorer Alo' in Jalpaiguri district, she stated that there could be planned efforts by some to create disturbances during the festive season.

"The festive season is round the corner. There are some selfish people who cannot tolerate people rejoicing and having fun and will try to spoil it. They will go about it in a planned manner. The District Magistrates and Superintendent of Polices

will have to keep their eyes and ears open. They have to remain on guard and watchful," stated Banerjee.
