While traffic flow remained suspended on a majority of national and state highways, shops, educational institutions, commercial establishments and ‘mandis’ remained closed at several places. The protesters blocked highways in Sirsa, Fatehabad, Kurukshetra, Panipat, Hisar, Charkhi Dadri, Karnal, Kaithal, Rohtak, Jhajjar and Panchkula districts and squatted on railway tracks in Shahbad, Sonepat, Bahadurgarh and Charkhi Dadri.

An official said the bandh effect was largely seen in the form of road and rail blockades, which hampered inter-city travel. Not much impact was seen in Gurugram, Faridabad, Narnaul, Rewari and Nuh districts, he claimed. — TNS
