Millennium Park was reopened on Saturday after authorities abruptly closed it on Friday amid apprehensions of trouble. The Millennium Park jetty, an important stop in the ferry services used by thousands for their daily commute, was also open from Saturday morning. Both the park and the jetty had been shut down on Friday to strengthen security around the office of the state’s chief electoral officer. A senior officer of Kolkata Police said the park, jetty and the road were opened for the convenience of commuters. The sudden shutdown on Friday meant loss of business for the stalls outside the gate of Millennium Park.
