"Bandh" for 2nd successive day.

The city came to a standstill as buses remained off the roads for the second day following a strike call by protesting Christains.

Things took a violent turn as Christains lashed back for vandalised prayer halls. Shops and other establishments pulled down their shutters and en eerie calm has descended over the city.

Cattle can be seen tripping over roads when on normal days, only vehicles passed.

Autorickshaws took the day off as well and the roads were empty. Private vehicles though could be spotted as car-owners went about their business through the day.

The city experienced violence in some areas. Total 'bandh' was observed for two days. It promises to continue for the third day.
