Kolkata, January 08, 2007 - Normal life was hit across West Bengal on Monday during the state-wide bandh called by the Opposition parties in protest against the violence in Nandigram, with 350 arrested for trying to enforce the shutdown.

Metro services, however, were normal. IGP (law and order) Raj Kanojia said that 350 people were arrested from various parts of the state for trying to enforce the bandh, but no major incident was reported till noon.
