Security beefed up for I-Day celebrations

Security has been beefed up in West Bengal in view of tomorrow’s Independence Day celebrations, with the main function slated to be held at Red Road instead of the state secretariat.

“Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee would take salute during a march past at the Red Road instead of hoisting the national tricolour at the state secretariat like previous years,” Panchayat Minister Subrata Mukherjee said during a media briefing.
