The 12 hours Thangmeiband bandh called by the JAC formed in connection with the death of Ningthoujam Babysana, crippled normal life in the Constituency today.
On the other hand, 3 bandh supporters allegedly involved in burning down effigies during the bandh, were arrested by the police as well.
From early morning, a large number of bandh supporters came out onto the main roads from their respective localities and blocked traffic movement in Thangmeiband.
However, a large number of police personnel forced them to return to their localities.

The angry locals then blocked most of the inter leikai roads of the area by burning tyres, placing iron pipes, wood and other hard objects in the middle of the road.
Police again foiled such activities by clearing the road and enabling the vehicles to pass.
All the shops, business establishments, educational institutions remained closed and all the roads in Thangmeiband bore deserted looks.
On the other hand, bandh supporters burned the effigies of Chief Minister N Biren, Standard Robarth Hr Sec School Principal Ph Landhoni and her son Ph Robinson at Khoyathong, Thingel, Thangmeiband Meisnam Leikai etc.
The bandh supporters also shouted slogans demanding justice for Babysana and condemning the arrest of JAC members by police last night.
During the bandh, police fired several rounds of tear gas shells and mock bombs to disperse the angry protesters who were burning the effigies and blocking the roads.
The bandh supporters also retaliated with slingshots towards the police.
Later, 3 individuals who were allegedly involved in burning the effigies were arrested by police.
