Kolkata : Life remained unaffected in West Bengal as the Bharat Bandh sponsored by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) in protest against three Farm Laws evoked little response.
The bandh protagonists tried in the morning to enforce it in several districts and were also engaged in scuffle with police.
The agitators also tried to block trains but of no avail.
Buses plied as usual, while shops and commercial establishments remained open.
Banks and financial institutions functioned as usual.
Several trade unions and Left parties have pledged their support to the bandh.
The activists of the Left staged demonstrations in various parts of the state demanding withdrawal of the Farm laws.
They also shouted slogans denouncing the Centre against the three laws.
