MLA Arjun Singh has recently signaled a strict stance against religious gatherings on public roads, which has triggered a debate in the state. Addressing the topic, Minister Dilip Ghosh asserted that the administration will function strictly according to the law. Ghosh emphasized that the government's approach is not about suppression or appeasement, but about ensuring that public spaces remain accessible and that the rule of law is upheld without bias.
Arjun Singh had earlier confirmed that the state cabinet has already discussed directives regarding the use of streets for religious purposes. Singh stated that while citizens are encouraged to pray within mosques, the practice of offering Namaz on busy streets and highways will no longer be tolerated.
This decision is expected to impact major annual gatherings, including those held on Kolkata’s iconic Red Road, as the administration seeks to prioritize traffic flow and public convenience.
