Train services and road traffic were disrupted, vehicles damaged and shops forcibly closed at several places in Bihar on Monday during a 24-hr Bihar bandh called by Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
The bandh was called to protest police lathicharge and firing during ABVP's 'Vidhan Sabha march' on March 26, in which several ABVP members were injured.
ABVP members assembled in the Patna University area of the state capital on Monday and forced suspension of classes, closure of university offices and other educational institutions in the area.
They marched through the busy Ashok Rajpath and Gandhi Maidan area burning tyres in the middle of the road and forcing shopkeepers to down their shutters, a police officer said. They also damaged windscreens of private vehicles, auto-rickshaws and tried to attack police patrol cars en route to Dak Bungalow square, the nerve centre of city traffic.
