Expressing her government's resolve to keep life normal in West Bengal during the 24-hour nationwide general strike tomorrow, Chief Minister Mamata
Banerjee today warned of steps, including break in service, in case of absence from duty by state employees. 

Assuring of steps to keep life normal during the strike tomorrow, Banerjee said that the state government's measures had been intimated to the Calcutta High Court also. 

"I will appeal to the people not to respond to the strike and to attend offices as usual as steps have been taken to run trains, trams, buses," she told a TV channel. 

"Trinamool Congress will not take to streets tomorrow to counter strike. My government will not allow any forcible closure of shops and offices," she said, asking pro-strike processions not to block roads.
