Summary:
A large part of the crowd moved from Tollygunge towards Diamond Harbour Road and reached Barisha. Traffic movement was relatively smooth near Mudiali Club.In the north, puja revellers started pouring in from 2.30pm at the pandals. The sight of the crowd despite traffic diversions left puja organisers relieved. Maniktala Chaltabagan Lohapatty Durgapuja Committee, Santosh Mitra Square Durgotsav Samity and Kankurgachhi Jubak Brinda drew large crowds. Stretches from Behala to New Alipore , which were already facing traffic snarls, were left further clogged with the puja crowd swarming the streets.Suruchi Sangha remained chock-a-block since late morning..
