Learning from a previous tragedy at Chorbagan, Kolkata Police have developed a comprehensive crowd-management strategy for the two-day Chhath Puja. The plan focuses on securing both the ghats and the access routes leading to them.

Kolkata Police have introduced a detailed crowd-management blueprint for the upcoming two-day Chhath Puja festivities. The strategy aims to ensure safety and order during the celebrations, with a specific focus on monitoring the ghats and all connecting approach roads.

This heightened security measure comes as a direct response to the Chorbagan stampede, a tragic incident that resulted in 19 deaths. By applying lessons from that event, authorities intend to prevent similar mishaps through rigorous oversight of devotee movements.
