The West Bengal government has assured British investors that it has taken steps to bring down the labour strikes to zero levels, as it made a strong case for attracting investments.

"We are setting up systems in place.

"There has been a radical shift since 2010-11, when 7.6 lakh work days were lost [because of labour strikes].

"By 2013, the number of working days lost came down to zero.

"It takes time for mind-sets to change but please come to Bengal and we can assure very clear worker management processes," West Bengal's Finance Minister Amit Mitra said.

He was speaking at a gathering of British and Indian business delegates, organised by the UK India Business Council.

The minister also highlighted the state's 'transparent' process of e-services introduced at all levels, including tax collection, tenders and other areas of services.
