Normal life was badly hit on January 2 in the interior Districts of Chhattisgarh after the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) launched its 'protest week' against the conviction of Rights Activist Binayak Sen. However, no violence has been reported, Police said. Roads were blocked and shops downed the shutters in areas bordering the State's forest region. Vehicles avoided even the highways in Bijapur and Dantewada Districts fearing attacks, said the Police. Bastar, Rajnandgaon, some parts of Raipur, Dhamtari and Durg Districts were among the badly affected areas as the protest week began January 2. Shops were shut after the shopkeepers decided to obey the Maoists, a senior officer at the Police Headquarters in Raipur told IANS.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has called for a Bharat bandh (all India general shut down) in eight States on February 7 and three days of protests against price rise, the Government's move to further hike petrol price, rampant corruption cases like 2G spectrum allocation and the Centre's offensive against Maoists, according to a statement released by the party's Central Committee (CC) on January 15. In the statement, spokesperson of the party, Abhay said the recent petrol price hike would lead to further inflation and manifest itself as a rise in the prices of food and essential items. He called on party cadres and supporters to protest against the rise in prices and the recent 2G scam. The release also added, "We are making it clear that there would be no bandh during the protest days and that ‘Bharat Bandh’ would be observed in six States West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and three Districts in Maharashtra - Gadchiroli, Gondia, Chandrapur and one District in Madhya Pradesh - Balaghat.
