On Wednesday, Kolkata appeared wrapped in a blanket of darkness as thousands of people spontaneously switched off their lights from 9 to 10 pm as a symbol of rising frustration over the government's failure to bring the culprits to justice. The City of Joy's iconic Victoria Memorial Hall was bereft of illumination.
