The city came to a halt on Thursday as 'bandh' was observed throughout the length and breadth of Mangalore. Shops remained shut and buses were'off' the road with due'respect' towards the bandh 'call'.
However private vehicles, such as cars, vans , tempos and scooters were seen plying across the roads. The 'bandh' occurred after a long respite from any such 'call' for Mangloreans.
For the layman,it means a time spent indoors. Colleges and schools, but, of course remained shut. For the children and teens it means a 'holiday'. People who had planned to journey outstation have had to cancel their plans.
The housewife or the 'common man' who had planned to shop for groceries was, naturally disappointed. Only, curious onlooders were espied on the roads.
