Imphal, July 08 2013:
At least eight vehicles were reportedly damaged today on the first day of the KSDC bandh in Churachand-pur even as bandh supporters strictly prevented vehicular movement.
People with medical cases, which the KSDC had said will be exempted from the bandh purview, were not spared as the bandh supporters forcefully removed the poster 'Medical' pasted on their vehicles and forced them to return.
Some reporters who have earlier in the day travel along the Tedim road to cover the bandh reportedly had a hard time making their way out as well.
The general strike however has minimal impact on the proper township as normal activities remains unaffected.
Shops were open and vehicles were seen plying freely but the volume of traffic has reduced considerably as there was no outside communication.
The KSDC later in the day told reporters that 8 vehicles; one Tata Magic, one Shaktiman, three diesel autos, and three Activa scooters were vandalised by the bandh supporters today.
