Kolkata is bracing for a massive political surge as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address a mega rally at Brigade Parade Ground this Saturday. To manage the expected influx of supporters and ensure security, the Kolkata Police has announced comprehensive traffic restrictions across the city.

Major arterial roads, including Red Road and the vicinity of the Maidan, will remain cordoned off or restricted for general traffic from Saturday morning. Commuters can expect route diversions on Central Avenue, Strand Road, and JL Nehru Road. Authorities have urged residents to plan their travel in advance and avoid the Esplanade area unless absolutely necessary. Additional personnel will be deployed to manage the flow and minimize public inconvenience during this high-profile visit.
