Partial response to Naxal bandh in Gadchiroli in Maharashtra
The bandh (general shutdown strike) call given by Communist
Party of India-Maoist
(CPI-Maoist)
on June 25 received
partial response
in this District,
reports IBN Live. The markets in Dhanora and Korchi,
both Maoist-affected
talukas,
remained closed.
Vehicular traffic
was missing and
Maharashtra State
Road Transport Corporation
(MSRTC) did not
ply buses in these
talukas, causing
inconvenience to
people. However,
no any untoward
incident was reported
during the bandh,
Police sources said.
The bandh
was, however, not
effective in south
Gadchiroli. The
bandh was
called by Maoists
to protest the anti-Maoist
offensive "Operation
Green Hunt"
and "police
excesses" on
tribals.
