Punjab bandh: Firing between two sides over closure of shop, one injured

In Punjab, the State bandh called by various organizations to protest against the violent incidents in Manipur got a mixed response. The bandh was generally peaceful, but in Kot Ise Khan town of Moga district, a person was injured in firing during a clash between two sides over the closure of a shop. In several other districts, including Jalandhar, road blockades affected traffic, and people were seen running here and there as buses plied in very few numbers.
 
All banks and Central and State government offices remained open and functioned as usual. The administration in several districts, however, closed educational institutions as a precautionary measure. Tight security arrangements were made throughout the State while flag marches were also conducted at many places.
