Kolkata Police Prepare for Protest March

In Monmouth County, New Jersey, police are launching a high-visibility enforcement campaign aimed at achieving zero traffic fatalities, following a troubling increase in deaths this year. The initiative, set for August 29, highlights the need for improved traffic safety culture and driving behaviors, as the county has recorded 36 fatalities in 2024 alone. Meanwhile, in Kuala Lumpur, over 1,600 police personnel will ensure public safety during National Day celebrations on August 30, with a focus on traffic management and anti-illegal racing operations. In Jakarta, 4,716 security personnel are deployed to manage protests against the controversial Pilkada Law revisions, ensuring public order and traffic flow. In Kolkata, significant police presence is planned for the Nabanna march on August 27 to maintain safety for both protesters and students taking exams, following a Supreme Court ruling permitting peaceful demonstrations. The coordinated efforts across these cities reflect a broader commitment to safety and public order amid rising tensions and increased traffic incidents.
