“Under the leadership of our Prime Minister we will head towards ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047. I would appeal to the people to follow the directives given by the police to make this Durga Puja a grand success,” further mentioned the Chief Minister.

Notably, before entering the Eden Gardens, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari walked at the Red Road with other dignitaries.
