Kolkata Police imposed Section 163 of the BNSS, 2023, in nine key areas of the city, including Rashmoni Avenue, ahead of the Immersion Carnival on Red Road. The law restricts unauthorized gatherings of five or more people to prevent potential disruptions. Protests, rallies, and processions are also banned. The order, effective October 15, was issued in the interest of maintaining public peace and safety. Police warned that violators would face penalties under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita. A protest, the "Droho Carnival," is expected at Rashmoni Avenue, raising security concerns.
