Before the Gangasagar Mela, chief minister Mamata Banerjee has issued strict instructions on Tuesday to control reckless driving in Kolkata and South 24-Parganas.
On the second and final day of her trip to the Gangasagar, she stated that tourists from across India and even other countries visit this sacred and spiritual site for blessings, holy bath and their safety and smooth return must be ensured by the police. "I am directing the police officers to make sure that no vehicle crosses the speed limit of 40 km/h. This must be strictly enforced from Babughat to Gangasagar. Help desks will be available at all points. General guidelines in various Indian languages must be distributed to the pilgrims," said Mamata Banerjee.
