Here is extract from the hindustan times :
Most parts of West Bengal shut down on Wednesday as a dawn-to-dusk protest by the Trinamool Congress over the continuing violence in Nandigram evoked near total response across the state.
In most parts of the state, including Kolkata, shops and business establishments were closed while train services were hit badly.
However, flights operated normally, said airport director VK Monga. Kolkata's metro service also functioned as normal.
Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee had said on Tuesday that her party would "paralyse" West Bengal on Wednesday for the sake of peace and the right to live in Nandigram -- where trouble continues despite the government scrapping a proposed industrial complex following stiff opposition to the takeover of their land.
