"esplanade"

The Calcutta High Court will hear on July 15 a petition by the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress challenging police restrictions and seeking permission to hold its annual July 21 Martyrs' Day rally at Victoria House in Kolkata's Esplanade

Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee staged a dharna in Kolkata protesting alleged attacks on party workers after recent elections. She accused the BJP of post-poll violence, announced plans for a nationwide opposition strategy and reiterated support for affected TMC cadres

We will take out a rally in Kolkata on November 9 from College Square to Esplanade along with members of civil society organisations, say the protesting junior doctors

Two more doctors participating in 'fast-unto-death' fell ill, further fueling the ongoing unrest sparked by the rape and murder of their colleague

At 9.30 am, the fast by the nine junior doctors of various medical colleges entered its 108th hour

With Tuesday coinciding with Maha Panchami, the doctors decided to mark the day with a variety of protest programmes throughout the day
