Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court on Friday gave a conditional nod to BJP-backed group Khola Hawa to hold a candle march from College Square to Dorina Crossing on Oct 5, the same day as the Red Road Puja carnival.
A vacation bench of Justice Biswaroop Chowdhury directed the police to grant permission.
The organisation wanted to hold the rally from 4 pm to 7 pm. HC stated that the march timings must be adjusted according to the idol movement of College Square and Mohammad Ali Park Durga Pujas.
The march is intended to protest the deaths of 12 people due to electrocution in Kolkata on Sept 23. The group filed the petition after the police did not respond to their rally application. It was informed on Oct 3 that permission could not be granted due to the scheduled Puja carnival.
