In Kolkata’s Coal Market, a tense clash is unfolding between BJP and TMC workers. BJP supporters are marching with flags and urging shopkeepers to close their businesses, while TMC activists, also waving flags, are countering by encouraging shops to remain open. This wholesale vegetable market, which operates from early morning to night, is a focal point of the conflict. The BJP accuses Kolkata Police of supporting TMC efforts to thwart the bandh, while BJP leaders, including Sukanta Majumdar, claim the bandh is successful due to public support. Additionally, doctors are protesting in the Shyambazar area for better security, following an attack on a doctor. The day has seen significant demonstrations from both parties and healthcare workers.
