Kolkata turned into a fortress as over 6,000 police personnel were deployed, along with water cannons and drones, to monitor the ‘Nabanna Abhijan’ march on Tuesday. Students and government employees are demanding the resignation of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College earlier this month. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alleged that four student activists distributing food at Howrah station went missing, holding Banerjee responsible. No permission was sought for the rally, with authorities on high alert across the city.
