The bandh called by dalit and progressive organisations demanding action against District and Sessions Judge Mallikarjun Gouda for what they say showing disrespect to B.R. Ambedkar during the Republic Day celebrations in Raichur was peaceful on Thursday.
People responded overwhelmingly to the bandh call and shops and commercial complexes remained closed. Public transport services remained suspended while private vehicles too kept off the road.
However, shops selling essential commodities remained open. The otherwise heavily crowded areas wore a deserted look. People remained indoors till afternoon.
