Shops remained closed, routine activities came to a halt, markets and streets gave a deserted look as local residents stayed away in support of the bandh call given by local Hindu and Muslim organizations.

A protest march was also taken out from Shani Mandir to Sardar Chowk where a symbolic effigy of terrorism was burnt.
