dated December 21, 1954: Police strike called off

The one-week-old West Bengal police hunger-strike ended in Calcutta on December 19. A Government press note in the evening said nowhere in the State was any constable on hunger-strike in the morning. There could not be any formal calling-off of the strike as there was no organised and known co-ordinating body of the protesting policemen. In just 36 hours of the Government's warning to the policemen to "give up or face dismissal," all the 2,000 men, who went on a hunger-strike, gave up the fast individually.
