Kolkata, Dec 15 (IBNS): Few Congress supporters heckled Urjit Patel and showed him black flags outside Dumdum airport (NSCBI-CCU) on Thursday evening, when the RBI governor was leaving Kolkata, according to reports.

After the Central government's move of demonetisation, Patel came to Kolkata to attend RBI board meeting in the city.

Followed by the meeting, he met Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at state administrative headquarter at Nabanna in the afternoon and discussed over demonetisation for an hour.

However, amid huge demonstration by Congress activists at the airport, the RBI governor left the city safely.
