Tripura police deny permission to TMC rally on Sept 15 in Agartala

AGARTALA: Tripura Police denied permission for Trinamool Congress (TMC) Member of Parliament and party's national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee's first rally in Agartala on September 16, according to the Trinamool Congress.

According to the TMC, the Tripura Police denied permission for Abhishek Banerjee's rally on September 15 because another party had already received permission to hold an event along the same route on that day.

The rally for the TMC national general secretary was originally scheduled for September 15, but it had to be rescheduled after permission for that day was also denied.

Tripura Police denied permission for Banerjee's rally on September 16, citing Viswakarma Puja on September 17.

Issuing a notification, the office of the Sub-Divisional Police officer, West Tripura Agartala stated that it will be "impossible to mobilise manpower to cover" such a gathering due to pre-puja commitments for traffic management and law and order."
