Actors, artists and writers on Sunday took the Nandigram protests to Nandan, where the Calcutta Film Festival is being held.
Nearly 100 protesters, more than 20 of them women, were arrested. Actor Parambrata Chatterjee, actress Bidipta Chakraborty and 37 students, some from Jadavpur University, were among those put behind bars.
The actors were released about five hours later, after a meeting at Lalbazar (police HQ) between deputy commissioner (headquarters) Vineet Goyel and a group of protesters, including film-makers Aparna Sen and Goutam Ghose and poet Sankha Ghosh.
