The carnival in the city of Kolkata already started from Saturday as festive frenzy Kolkatans went pandal hopping.

 

However, Kolkatans received a little disappointment on Panchami as the city police announced a prohibition in the access to visit Deshapriya Park pandal in south Kolkata for worshippers. 

 

"Me and other officers rushed to the spot and we all controlled the situation very fast. There has been no casualty so far. Viewers' safety and security are the most important things to us. Only for Deshapriya Park's Durga Puja, whole south Kolkata was effected. They did not follow the terms and conditions properly. We have decided to close the access into Deshapriya Park indefinitely," Kolkata Police Commissioner Surajit Kar Purakayastha said in a press conference here on Sunday.

 

"I will request all worshippers to avoid Deshapriya Park and visit other pandals," he had added.
