Kolkata Readies for TMC Martyrs Day: Traffic, Opposition Concerns
The government in Kolkata is having a big gathering called 'Martyrs' Day' to remember people who were hurt in a protest a long time ago.
To make sure everyone stays safe and traffic flows, the police are closing some roads and changing how cars move.
