KOLKATA: On the first day of the extended nationwide lockdown Wednesday, many incidents of violation of the constraints were reported from various parts of West Bengal and over 700 people were arrested in the state capital alone for breaching the rules.
Although major parts of the state wore a deserted look, people in some parts of the city were seen jostling with each other in markets to buy essential commodities despite a complete ban on large gatherings.
At some places, the wrongdoers were given punishments such as squats and frog jumps, before they were let go. A total of 723 people have been arrested in the city alone in 24 hours since Tuesday evening for defying the lockdown imposed by the government, a senior police officer said here. (PTI)
