Puja Parikrama 2016
Today morning I attended the flag off function of Puja Parikrama for the senior citizens of Kolkata organized for Pronam members by Kolkata Police and The Bengal. Each year we organize for few hundred Pronam members, who are all senior citizens, to visit some of the most popular pujas of Kolkata with the support of Kolkata Police.
Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar flagged off the special buses from Amherst Street police station in the presence of Smita Bakshi, MLA, Agnimitra Paul, The Bengal member Jt Convener of Pronam project, and other senior police officials and guests. The main pujas that Puja Parikrama covered were Chaltabagan, Santosh Mitra Square, Mitali, Tridhara, Shibmandir, Mudiali, Ekdalia and Singhi Park.
The Kolkata Police, in consultation with the various puja committees arranges for special visit to the pandals for the elderly who are otherwise unable to visit the pujas on their own due to their age and infirmity.
