Meanwhile, the Statewide bandh (general shutdown) call of the PWG to protest the killing of its leader Ramakrishna in an encounter on March 25 evoked partial response on April 8. The bandh evoked a partial response in Anantapur district, with public transportation being disrupted and cinema houses closed.

In Kothapalli, Kurnool district, officials cancelled the ongoing Jala Chaitnyam programme as a precautionary measure. In Macherial, Adilabad district, the call did not have any impact and all commercial establishments worked as usual. But in Amrabad, Mahaboobnagar district, the bandh was total.

The two-day bandh (general shutdown) called by left-wing extremists—Naxalites of the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC), beginning June 10 affected normal life in the State of Jharkhand. Official sources said the shutdown was near total in the MCC-affected areas, where most of the shops remained closed and vehicular traffic also remained off the road. The bandh was called to protest against alleged police atrocities.

In Hazaribagh district, armed MCC Naxalites raided the Baralanga railway station located between Barkakana and Ramgarh section of South Eastern Railways and snapped the power connection. The Naxalites also attacked the Rai railway station near Khelari in Ranchi and locked the office of the station manager, bringing the traffic of coal rakes to a halt throughout the night.
