KOLKATA: Calcutta high court on Tuesday asked police to ensure that rallies and marches do not occupy more than one-third of a road's width, leaving the rest of space for vehicular movement so that commuters do not suffer.
Justice Tirthankar Ghosh's direction to Kolkata Police came while granting permission to Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha to hold a protest rally against the sexual assault at a law college.
The rally is scheduled between 1 pm and 5 pm on Wednesday from Kalighat metro station to the opposite flank of the law college.
Justice Ghosh made it clear that the directive to restrict the width of the rally was meant not just for Wednesday, but for all marches in future, irrespective of which political party or organisation organises it.
