Namaste
Excitement is in the air in Kolkata, Durga Puja begins Oct 9 in Kolkata ( http://www.durgapuja.net/ ).
The Kolkata police and security officials will be providing heightened security this year, and I would like to thank the police for this.
The Commissioner of Police, Kolkata is the chief of the Kolkata Police, this is currently the respected Commissioner Surajit Kar Purkayastha, a good gent and appointed by the Government of West Bengal and reports independently to the Home Secretary of the State. He has assured many plain clothed officers for the areas of high foot traffic, 24-hour police presence, good numbers of women officers will also be deployed in and around the pandals to assist all ladies and goondas will be dealt with. Cameras are being established in many areas of Kolkata Durga Puja events as is common in London.
There is full expectation that our police in Kolkata, plains clothes officers and anti-terrorist intelligence are going to give all their force and dilligence as an example to the new Commisioner, we have no doubt and thank you.
It can be difficult to be a police officer in these times, and with the need for heightened security due to terrorism, a rise in vice as well as abuse of women, I want to thank the Kolkata police for their efforts, and for their service. I pray Mother Durga bless them and their families, Durga Bless the Kolkata Police! May their Duty stand firm, they are the "thin line" of our very thin veneer of civilisation.
Om Namah Sivaya
