Behrampore, Nov. 15 :    Behrampore, Nov. 15:  Defying chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee's ban on any worship inside police establishments, Kali Puja was performed at the sprawling Behrampore police lines as usual. Sources said the Puja was held with the tacit support of district superintendent of police Rajesh Kumar, who is chairman of the steering committee which organises the Puja, and additional superintendent of police Shankar Singh, the vice-chairman of the committee. Wednesday's Puja took place in a Kali temple. There is a permanent idol which is worshipped every evening. In place of the idol, an earthen pot used in the Puja will be immersed today. A constable, Jagabandhu Banerjee, is posted at the temple to perform the Puja. On other times, he goes around the police lines not in uniform, but in dhoti, chaddar and a namabali. Two home guards and two National Volunteer Force personnel are deployed at the temple to assist in the Pujas and wash and clean the mandir. However, an official said the constable, home guards and the jawans have not been officially deployed for temple work. The district police administration had come under the scanner when Shani Puja was performed at the Behrampore police station early this month. Several hundred police employees queued up this morning for the prasad. The first plate of prasad was handed over to the superintendent of police. 'The temple in the police lines is quite old and nothing has been added to it. It is true that any religious activity is banned inside any police station. But how can I demolish this temple? If there is any temple and an idol, someone must offer Puja. If I take steps to stop the Puja it may hurt public sentiment,' said Rajesh Kumar. The police superintendent added that he was not aware that he was the chairman of the temple committee. 'If someone makes me chairman of any committee without my consent, what can I do?'' he asked. Temple priest Banerjee, however, put everything down to the orders of the sahibs (read Rajesh Kumar and Shankar Singh). Asked how he as police constable could get away doing no other job than that of priest, he said: 'I am performing the Puja for the past two years and I will do what the sahibs tell me to do. I will do whatever they say.' Police sources said that the cost of Wednesday's Kali Puja was borne by the police employees with each of them donating Rs 20. The home guards and the jawans donated Rs 5 each. Procession deaths Four persons were killed and 10 injured when a lorry ploughed through a Kali Puja procession at Kharai Bazar under Pataspur police station last night. The injured were admitted to Egra Primary Health Centre. But three persons, whose conditions are stated to be critical, have been shifted to the Calcutta Medical College and Hospital.
