A misleading social media post is being circulated claiming that traffic was halted to facilitate the movement of the convoy of HCM. This claim is false and factually incorrect.

The traffic regulation seen in the circulated visuals was undertaken as part of a scheduled security and traffic arrangement in connection with the movement of the Secretary of State of the United States of America. In addition, traffic regulations are in place due to ongoing metro related work at Chingrighata.

Kolkata Police requests citizens not to believe or share unverified and misleading posts.
