Imphal, October 02 2009:
The 48-hour Manipur bandh being called since last night by the JAC for 2006 Autonomous District Council Teachers Appointed Parents and Guardians in protest against the State Government's move to recruit 3453 new teachers, affected normal life in the State more particularly in the hill districts.
However, there is no report of any untoward incident so far.
Owing to the bandh call, inter-district as well as intra-State passenger bus services stayed off the road though some private vehicles were seen plying as usual.
Business transaction in most of the market places in the headquarters of the hill districts also reportedly recorded low on account of the bandh.
Nonetheless, goods-laden trucks from outside the State have arrived at Imphal as well as others left from Imphal under security escort.
