18th August, 2008 - Mayurbhanj celebrates another bandh

Bhanja Sena(sounds weird??), a newly formed social outfit organised a dawn-to-dusk bandh in Mayurbhanj district in protest against the alleged demand of Jharkhand Mukti Murcha (JMM) to transfer three districts~ Mayurbhanj, Sundergarh and Keonjhar of Orissa for creation of a greater Jharkhand state. Many more such bandhs are in the pipeline. The irony is that earlier political parties used to search for issues to disrupt public life. Now issues are made first and outfits are formed later to protest and disrupt the poor public.
