Kolkata: Final pandal inspection from today

KOLKATA: Kolkata Police will begin its final inspection of pandals from Monday with the help of other utility providers like fire brigade and CESC.

For the first day, the team has chosen 18 pandals that are located either close to busy crossings or are visible right from the road. A few of them, including one in Behala, had struggled to cope with the rush last year. The team will be led by Joint CP (Headquarter) Subhankar Sinha Sarkar.

The cops plan to start inspections from Bosepukur Sitala Mandir at Kasba before visiting Ekdalia and Babubagan. Deshapriya Park, Badamtala Ashar Sangha at Rashbehari and three pujas at Haridevpur are olso on the list. The senior officers will then travel to Behala and visit Barisha Club and Natun Dal before stopping at Suruchi Sangha. The second half will see inspections at Mohd Ali Park, Santosh Mitra Square and College Square in central Kolkata and Kumartuli Park in north Kolkata.

On Sunday, the local OC and the traffic guard OCs met the organizers of these 18 pandals, and asked them to share their plans.
