Coronavirus: Mamata Goes Against Centre's Order, Addresses an Event In Kolkata

WB CM Mamata Banerjee addressed thousands of people inside Kolkata’s largest indoor stadium during a government sports award ceremony.
This happened a day after the Centre issued advisories to states to ensure no public gathering takes place to check the spread of coronavirus.
Mamata Banerjee’s move drew sharp criticism from the opposition parties in the state.
The opposition alleged that it was irresponsible of her to continue with the event under the changed circumstances.
Mamata then said, "There are restrictions on organizing events. We have gathered despite that because such days do not come regularly.”
