During the bandh, bandh supporters blocked the Imphal-Moreh section of National Highway near Thamlapokpi village and vehicles were made to turn back.
The roads in Chandel District Head Quarters and others leading to Sub-Divisional Head Quarter were also blocked by the bandh supporters at different locations by piling up boulders and logs.
