Over 85 award-winning Durga Puja committees displayed idols of the goddess on decorated tableaux, which moved in a procession on Red Road here in the presence of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and several envoys.
Agitating junior doctors on Tuesday evening took out a protest rally from Rani Rashmoni Road in the city's Esplanade area, shortly after the Calcutta High Court set aside prohibitory orders in areas around the West Bengal government바카라™s 바카라˜Durga Puja Carnival바카라™ nearby.
The 'Droher Carnival' by the Joint Platform of Doctors saw participation of people from all walks of life, who joined the doctors in demanding justice for the RG Kar hospital victim.
"This is a response from the common people who want to protest against the state government's insensitive approach. The CM seems unconcerned that young doctors are on a fast-unto-death," said Debasish Halder, one of the protesting doctors.
The medics have been on a hunger strike since October 5.
The rallyists chanted slogans while others marched alongside, holding posters highlighting the junior doctors' demands.
Among the several celebrities who joined them was noted actor and director Aparna Sen.
"I am with them. I have come here to show my support... This is the place where I belong and not the (government바카라™s) Puja Carnival," Sen said.

Meanwhile, the protesting doctors and common people, who gathered at the Dorina Crossing, had a brief argument with DC (Central) Indira Mukhopadhyay and other senior police officers who arrived there when the agitators were trying to form a human chain.
During the day, two more junior doctors 바카라“ Sapdan Chowdhury and Rumelika Kumar 바카라“ joined their other colleagues in their ongoing 바카라˜fast-unto-death바카라™ over the RG Kar incident.
Sourav Dutta, one of the fasting medics, was admitted to the North Bengal Medical College and Hospital after his health condition deteriorated, an official of the medical facility said.
