Kolkata: In a stern message to the central trade unions (TUs), West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday said her government would not allow any bandh in the state on September 2, when the TUs have given a call from a general strike.

"We will not allow any bandh in the state on September 2. We will keep everything open. Vehicles will ply and shops will open. If vehicles and shops are damaged (by bandh supporters), we will take strong action. We will also give compensation," she told a meeting of the students wing of her party here.
