14th October, 2008 Margoa Bandh

A call for bandh evoked overwhelming response at Cuncolim with almost all commercial establishments remaining closed throughout the day. The bandh was against the inaction of the administration in nabbing the accused in the ‘ghumti’ desecration case. Banks, pharmacies, hospitals, clinics and essential services were however not affected by the bandh. Though private buses remained off the roads, KTC and KSRTC buses along the NH17 Margao — Karwar highway plied as usual.
