Court Permits Protest Rally in Kolkata Amidst Puja

Court Permits Protest Rally in Kolkata Amidst Puja

A court in Kolkata has allowed a political group to hold a protest.

The group wants to demonstrate because of some deaths caused by heavy rain.

The police originally said no, because of a big festival happening at the same time.

The group went to court, and the court said they could protest, but not during the main festival activities and with a smaller crowd.

The court also said the route may need to be changed to avoid disrupting the festival.

The group's lawyer said the festival should not stop the protest, pointing to a previous similar court case.
