West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said Durga Puja committees in the state must take measures to ensure that pedestrians and traffic movement are regulated well without anyone having to encounter much hassle.
Inaugurating Sreebhumi Sporting club puja in Lake Town area, along VIP Road, the CM told her ministerial colleague Sujit Bose that she won't hesitate to act if the crowd-puller pandal inconveniences common people be it revelers or airport-bound public.
"Puja committees must ensure that vehicular and pedestrian movements do not face too many obstructions or hassles," the CM said.
Last year, curtains had to be drawn on Sreebhumi puja on Ashtami, as the place was almost blocked for days with revelers from far and wide turning up to take a look at the Burj Khalifa-themed Durga puja marquee.
