The order comes against the backdrop of a spate of violence in Bengal's Howrah and Hooghly districts during Ram Navami processions.
The Calcutta High Court today asked the Mamata Banerjee government to seek paramilitary forces from the centre to keep the peace during Hanuman Jayanti celebrations.
The order comes against the backdrop of a spate of violence in Bengal's Howrah and Hooghly districts during Ram Navami processions.
The court directed state police to hold route marches in areas where Hanuman Jayanti celebrations will be held. No rallies will be permitted in the areas where prohibitory orders are in place following communal violence during and after Ram Navami, the court added.
The paramilitary forces, the court said, will generate confidence and ensure law and order.
