Kolkata: The West Bengal government will open a control room at the state secretariat (Nabanna), which will monitor weather and law and order situation in Kolkata during Durga Puja
The control room will help take quick action in case of natural disasters or deterioration of law and order during the festival.
The decision to open the control room was taken after the city was paralysed for over a day following record overnight rain, which inundated almost all of Kolkata, leaving 10 people dead due to electrocution.
