I have some URLs indexed in Bing from my website which I would like permanently removed. How do I do this?

You can use "Block URLs" tool in bing webmaster tools, with in 24hrs your url will be removed from bing index and use robot metatag in the page you need not to index by bing
try this in pages which you need not to index by bing
<meta name="bingbot" content="no index, no follow" />

I have hundreds of URLs so as far as adding the noindex, nofollow tag to each page its too much work and would take months.
I saw the block URLs but it only lasts 90 days. Is there a permanent way to remove the URL?

Not without applying some type of noindex tag. Otherwise what would the search engine do if some new and unrelated page showed up at an old URL?
If all the URLs you want to block live in the same directory, you could try setting a robots no-index header for the whole directory. Exact wording will, of course, depend on your server type.

This syntax is incorrect. It is not "no index, no follow", it is "noindex, nofollow" (i.e. there is no space after the word 'no').
