West Bengal government’s Durga Puja carnival faces protest heat

The annual Durga Puja carnival in West Bengal is approaching, where top pandals showcase their artwork in a roadshow. However, this year’s carnival is facing protests from junior doctors near the site. The carnival is a significant event for the government, attracting foreign delegates and dignitaries. Despite the protests, the doctors have assured they will not disrupt the carnival, planning a peaceful human chain instead. The administration has requested the doctors to withdraw their protests. Meanwhile, opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari has called for a boycott of the carnival, citing recent incidents of violence in the state.
