West Bengal government opposes bandh call, says life will remain normal

On August 28, the West Bengal government asserted that life would continue as usual despite the BJP's call for a Bengal Bandh. The government condemned the bandh that has been called to protest against police actions against protestors. The state government promised normal transport services. Leader of Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, accused the police of brutality towards peaceful demonstrators and threatened to disrupt the state if such actions persist.
