The newly formed BJP-led government in West Bengal has announced a series of strict measures related to public order, religious gatherings, and illegal activities shortly after taking office. BJP MLA Arjun Singh stated that roadside namaz and public prayers on streets would not be permitted under the new administration led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari.

Speaking about the government’s early policy decisions, Arjun Singh said the administration had already issued directives focusing on law and order, illegal activities and public gatherings on roads. He stated that prayers should be conducted inside mosques rather than on public streets. Singh also indicated that restrictions would apply to gatherings at Red Road, which has previously hosted large Eid prayers.

The issue of public prayers at Red Road had earlier drawn attention after authorities debated permission for Eid gatherings due to military-related activities in the area. According to Singh, the new government plans to implement court directions while enforcing restrictions on road-based religious events.

The BJP government has also announced strict action against stone-pelting incidents and cattle smuggling networks across the state. Officials have reportedly instructed police authorities to shut down unauthorised cattle markets and increase surveillance in border districts and other sensitive areas. The issue of cattle smuggling had remained a major political topic during the Assembly election campaign.

The latest measures are being viewed as some of the first major administrative decisions taken by the new Bengal government after assuming power. Political observers believe the announcements could trigger intense political debate in the state as the administration moves forward with its election promises related to security, law enforcement, and public order.
