Fresh battle lines have been drawn in West Bengal with chief minister Mamata Banerjee today criticising the Left parties for clashes in Kolkata yesterday, threatening to 'finish' such protests in a minute. Her warning comes as the Left said that their shutdown on September 2 would be historic.

Central Kolkata and parts of adjoining Howrah turned into a battlefield today, Left parties claim that nearly 200 protesters were injured in clashes with the police during a march to the secretariat to demand farmers' rights, as chief minister Mamata Banerjee termed it as a "barbaric" act by Left supporters.

At least two people suffered bullet injuries in a clash between members of the Trinamool Chattra Parishad and the BJP student wing, or ABVP, at Itahar in Bengal's North Dinajpur district on Monday.
