West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has ordered a ban on the screening of the Malayalam film "Kerala Story" in the state.
The move comes in an effort to prevent any potential incidents of hatred or violence and to maintain peace.
The Chief Minister has directed the Chief Secretary to ensure that the movie is removed from all screens showing it in West Bengal.
The decision has caused controversy, with some supporting the ban as a measure to prevent communal tension while others see it as a violation of free speech.
