Kolkata, July 20 (Inditop.com) Railways Minister and West Bengal’s main opposition Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee Monday asked her party workers not to call unnecessary shutdowns or road blockades for staging any political protest in the state.

“I request our party leaders and Trinamool Congress workers not to call frequent strikes or road blocks unnecessarily in the state as it might cause inconvenience to the common people,” Banerjee said at a press conference here.

“I advise my party workers to take permission before calling any strike or road blockade in the state.

“Though it’s true the level of Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)-sponsored terrorism is extremely high in West Bengal, but calling shutdown is not the proper way out always,” she said.
