The roadside collection of subscriptions for Kali Puja has taken a serious proportion as the truck drivers resorted to a road blockade on Monday night at Panisagar, protesting against attacking a truck for subscription. Many local and outside truck drivers participated in the protest, which was withdrawn after two hours following police intervention.
The situation has not taken such a serious turn, but reports of similar atrocities came from many other places, including Bishalghar. It is alleged that in the Karaimura Amtali area, some boys detained a car and took away about one hundred Poultry chicks a trader was carrying for trading purposes. However, the chicks were recovered after police intervention, but no action was taken against the offenders.
The roadside collection of subscriptions became a serious problem before Durga Puja but was controlled to some extent after the Chief Minister intervened. The same thing returned before Kali Puja.
