Sitamarhi : Business establishments, banks, offices, schools and colleges, were either closed or registered very thin attendance in Sitamarhi district on September 10, 2018, due to Bharat Bandh which affected the vehicular traffic the most. Vehicles remained off the road. Movement of trains too was hit by the Bundh call on Samastipur – Narkatiaganj section of the East Central Railway, Hajipur.
The bandh supporters had spared the essential services though but still only a few medicine shops were opened in the town. The district level leaders of the opposition parties took out procession under the leadership of District President of Congress party Vimal Shukla. The Bandh was almost total and passed off peacefully.
