A woman driving to her office on Tuesday morning was prosecuted for obstructing the thoroughfare after she protested the decision to close the Parama flyover apparently for the movement of ‘a VIP’.
Liza Rahman, a resident of Mukundapur on the eastern fringes of Kolkata, was heading for her workplace at Bankshall court in the central business district when the incident happened between 9.45am and 10am.
On approaching the Parama flyover from south, she found the city-bound flank closed. A sergeant posted there was signaling commuters to take the alternate route through JBS Haldane Avenue, which runs below the flyover through Park Circus, she said.
