KOLKATA: With Muharram scheduled a day after Dussera this year, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday asked the people to cooperate with each other and not to fall prey to provocation leading to communal problems. "We will request all puja organizers not to hold immersions after 6pm on Dashami, September 30. The Red Road carnival will be held on October 3," Mamata said on Wednesday.The chief minister also asked the people not to pay heed to posts on social networking sites leading to communal disturbances. People are posting fake photos of incidents on social networking sites. I have heard that some people have plans to disturb and drive people in a wrong path," she said stressing that the puja committees should play a "bigger role" in this context.
