The Bengal police strictly implemented the bi-weekly lockdown on Wednesday punishing violators and arresting and penalising about two hundred people from various places, sources said.
Strict lockdown was implemented across the State from Kolkata, Howrah and Hooghly in South Bengal to Malda and Coochbehar in the North.
No flight took off from Kolkata and no buses ran. Information Technology sector too witnessed a complete lockdown, sources said adding police resorted to mild lathi-charge at places like Jagaddal, Birbhum, Baruipur and other places where people tried to break the protocols.
In a bid to break the corona chain the Bengal Government has decided to impose bi-weekly lockdowns in the state with exceptions on the festival days.
