Ananda Bose held a confidential conversation with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He issued a stern warning, asserting that "nobody has the right to take the law into their hands." The Governor emphasized that while democratic protest is acceptable, violence will not be tolerated.To restore order, Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) has been imposed, prohibiting gatherings of more than 10 people.
