Calcutta HC gives conditional nod to BJP’s Rath Yatra

Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court on Thursday gave conditional permission to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Rath Yatra rallies, saying the organisers will be liable for any untoward incident or damage to public property.

Acting on a petition filed by the BJP, Justice Tapobrata Chakraborty said the organisers have to inform the police superintendent of the district concerned 12 hours prior to taking out the yatra.
